Your Kickstarter Sucks

Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale
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 397: It’s a Stink Day

    I hate when I flip my ice cube tray over and…something bad happens to the ice? Or the tray? Or, God forbid, me?? I love myself. Even more than ice cubes! This is the kind of thinking that has been abandoned by our Elite Thinkers now of days, and why we end up with more “apps” than “applications”. Well I’m just having a little fun about the destruction of our planet but I do think that it’s more fun when inventors are thinking about stuff that bothers them in the kitchen as opposed to which types of people deserve to continue living. What can I say…I love household gadgets!  On today’s show we also have some advancements in the worlds of Plates, some innovation in the dumpster sector, and a strange comic book project that not even the crazy comic heads on this show can quite understand. But hey, I guess that’s this crazy show! And I wouldn’t trade it for the entire world! Would you? Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

    Episode 396: Adventures with Papa Mike and JF

    “I was once a professional Quake player and won a couple thousand dollars at the first paid esports tournament in the United States.” ← May be true from a certain perspective, if you ignore some key facts and add a generous dose of assuming good faith argumentation. However, “There are at least 6 Kickstarters featured in this week’s episode of YKS” is a statement of fact unassailable by even the most ardent fact-checker. Go ahead, count them yourself! We’ll be waiting. To wit: On today’s show, we have something about Wi-Fi, a stupid golf one, and 4 others. Satisfied? Well me neither but it’s on the damn show so suck it up! Oh yeah and don’t forget…have a nice time!  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 395: Nut Milk and the Poppers

    UHHH!! YUCK!!! UYUCKOO!! I axeofdentally touched the gas pump! BLEH! When I was pumpking gas into the car. My car got some gas on the outside of it! OOWOOGA! Now to touch the $20 bill, the door handle, the cash wrap, the rollerized hot dog, the plastic bag, a quarter, a newspaper, my sticky butt crack, and a cop’s gun on the way home. THAT makes a lot of sense. A nod to health! On today’s show we have all that and more. Plus a couple of other things like a nutting device, something with Jell-O, and a pathetic device that is pussifying the boomer generation. Sad to see! But funny to hear. And that’s the way the show goes. Enjoy 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 392: My Toilet is a Paradise

    When it comes to an episode of YKS, there’s gonna be 3 hits. I hit the theme song button, DB hits a couple of home run dingers, and Dan hopefully hits the button that takes out all the times we said our social security numbers, where we live, and actionable threats against celebrities. So maybe like 2.5 hits at best. But still, that’s more than Justin Bieber! On today’s show we have a humpty-hoo and a diddly-doo and a rooty-toot-too! Just kidding. This is for all the true fans that read this far into the episode description. A treat from us to you. A real reveal about what kind of kickstarters are contained within this 2 hour laugh-stravaganza. Are you ready? Here goes! It’s toilet cleaner and boner juice.

    Episode 391: I Have a Brand New Video Game Idea

    I think it would be fun to be a little Italian guy who could hop around and stuff and he throws, um, baskets, I guess. And he’s fighting, um, a kind of big…Chimp…Yeah. And oh yeah…the best part? The chimp is named something you wouldn’t quite expect. Ha! I will also be making the game 400 years too late and Crappy as well. Thoughts? Well, I hope they’re good. And I hope YOU’RE good. And I hope this episode is good as well. After all, why wouldn’t it be – it’s the Crazy Kickstarter formula we know and love – along with a couple of twists, of course – and the theme o’ the day is “interesting kickstarters plus some fun comments.” If that don’t whet your whistle, then perhaps some of the YKS guys’ patented Observational Humor will cure what ails ya. And if not, well, there’s always driving out to the woods to become a hermit! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

We are in bed the whole time and mostly talk about Golden Girls. But still pretty good.

    Episode 390: Thank You For Your Service, Rob Riggle

    That awkward moment when you want to play some poker with the guys but the poker chips aren’t shitty little plastic penguin things…Thanks GOD those days are over! With that and more projects from this crazy little episode of our wacky little show, I think the future is looking very, VERY bright. Bright, indeed!
