Your Kickstarter Sucks

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 389: KarenCoin: Hodl to Your Manager

    Well here we are in 2025 and of course the number one problem everyone is having right now is that cereal gets too wet or warm or something like that. Yep it’s pretty much driving everyone mad and a lot of scientists have “jumped out of windows” about it, but it seems like this problem won’t be fixed anytime soon. And that really stinks because if that problem got fixed there would be some good stuff happening after that. Alas! We’ll just have to make do with a brand new way to make money on social media, a freakin wristband that gives you super powers in your smart home, and a computer that can flush your bird’s toilet for you. Perhaps some day we will solve our problem of cereal having to be eaten within like 5-10 minutes of pouring it into a bowl…or all die trying.

    Episode 388: Well My Dog Is Trapped in the SoulCube

    Hey where’s that damn dog of mine? He better not be…oh no…oh NO!!! Well, anyway. Update on our various locations: the YKS boys are off to CES, and you all are here at home, listening to the show. Or you’re at your work, I guess. Whatever THAT is. Presumably some kind of sexy doctor like they have on TV. So we had better make this a good one to get you through that long slog of sexy surgery. Ah man! Don’t drop some hot sweat into that open cavity!  On today’s program, we can finally share our dreams with you, and the dreams are, guess what. Bad. Plus we are getting down to brass tax with some good old fashioned common American sense, which is a scam of some kind, and a TV channel which is not a scam at all probably but man it sure is a bummer. Unfortunately we do end the episode on that one which is poor planning on my part, but in my defense, that is ok for me to do because I don’t like to feel bad about my actions. Anyway have fun at work doc. We will be trying out fancy new dildos in the desert.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Last week we previewed the Consumer Electronics Show in beautiful Las Vegas, California! This week, we’re probably watching some movie called Shlump 2. Just kidding, it’s another good one. Statistically speaking, some of them are stinkers, but we don’t charge more when it’s good so it evens out.

    Episode 387: The Christmas Episode

    Well it’s almost time to gather round Ol’ Tannenbaum and sip some classic nog! But first, if you’ll indulge, let us celebrate a different kind of gift-giving: that of content creators to their adoring audiences! And what a merry gift it is.  On today’s show, you know what, I just realized we could have done all Christmas-related projects for this one. Well, we didn’t. There’s probably not even that many Christmas-related Kickstarters, anyway. Granted, I didn’t look. You coulda looked if you wanted it so bad! Why is it my job every year to bring merriment! This is supposed to be for everyone. You know what, fuck it. Christmas is over. I’ll be in the garage. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

    Episode 386: Dr Dunk and The Basketball Baby

Just what will we be doing in 9 days time! Well I know I’ll be wiping the sleep from my eyes, bounding down the staircase, and getting MAD at my KIDS for not getting me any good TOYS! That is, unless…unless a Christmas miracle happens. But what would it be! Perhaps it would be, a simple episode of a show, from the mind of two Content Creators, who love their jobs and want to make the whole world smile. Or maybe it’s THIS CRAP!!!

    Episode 384: Teenage Apes with Shaved Muzzles

    Wow! You know, this is a pretty darn good time to be thinking about some new products to consider purchasing and buying and stuff like that. I hope that some companies or those fine folks who are companies but just people – entrepreneurs – come up with some good new ideas for me to consume! Perhaps I should check the circulars (ads that cavemen looked forward to). Looks like we got socks that stay together, and. Actually you know what, that’s it. That’s perfect. I don’t need anything else. I’m happy now. Thank you God! Thank you my God! I am saved.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

    Episode 382: Have No Fear, Swart is Here!

    Hi everybody! I have an idea for a crab trap that makes it really hard for crabs to go into the trap, very easy for them to get out, and also it takes up a lot of space on your boat. Basically, it sucks. Hmmm…I think this will be the predominant tool of the industry for, oh, I’ll say, forever. WRONG SHITHEAD! YOU DIDN’T INNOVATE AND NOW YOU’RE DEAD! DEAD LIKE A CRAB! Also on today’s show we’ve got a nice little mascot for a restaurant of sorts, place to store those pesky eyeglasses, and a phone holder that you can break open to reveal the passphrases for a lottery puzzle. Actually it’s been canceled due to being illegal and stupid. But we didn’t know about this then. Because this episode…is from the recent past! Ah! Like our dreaded crab traps! Enjoy.
