Episode 217: American Friend John Hamburger

I “hop” every one had a “hoppy” Easter. And that today is a “hoppy Monday” also! But enough fun. That is over. Leave that in the weekend. It’s time to get to work. Stop smiling. Plug your headphones in. Listen to the show. Let’s take this seriously. Get this one right and we’ll never have to do it again. Got it?! Good. Now on with the show……which today has some pretty fun stuff in it. We hand out some Donkey awards. And we learn about the power of organization. Plus we find out maybe our beards aren’t very alpha, and at long last – a solution for those pesky water bottles we are always accumulating! All in all, a pretty good episode which is a worthy successor to the big crazy day we had yesterday. I think we would all “hoppily” agree.

Twenty twenty twenty four minutes to go…I want to hear the podcast! Imagine if we were posting this episode just 24 minutes before it was supposed to go live. That would certainly be a stressful situation…and maybe it’s even happened before! But nowadays we’re a little bit wiser, a LOTTA bit older, and let’s just say we got it in with plenty of time to spare. Pause. On today’s show we’ve got a kitchen device that will have you saying “That’s maybe 2 things. Definitely not 10, and no way is it 12”, a kitchen device that will have you saying “Who in the world could possibly justify this…why would you make this…”, and a kitchen device that will have you going “Well, that doesn’t really feel like a product at all. It’s borderline an idea.” I guess there are a few kitchen things today but the rest of them are the normal crap. So get out the knife and fork and plate and napkin and stuff like that…it’s time to YKS!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Been crafting your reality lately? Well we have. That’s why demons are in charge of the world, the economy is in the toilet, and tornadoes are whizzing past our houses. We’re not that good at it! Someone else should be crafting our reality…but without the right app, there’s no hope. Plus, even if we did have the perfect reality creating app, we would probably be too busy waiting for our stupid tattoo artist to get done stenciling the piece of art that will be a permanent fixture on our skin (why do they take like 35 mins???) or worse, spending time with our children. Gah! And what fucking temperature is it outside! Why won’t my mug tell me!!! I need help. And a Lot of it. Right now. Luckily there’s a new episode of YKS! But Doctor…you know. That whole thing.

Who’s getting canceled! I need to know this. It’s important to know who that is happening to! Because I assume it is a lot of people. Presumably it is, right? It’s only a few or several years later. And nothing has really changed since then. Plus there’s a game about it, which usually indicates some level of relevance. Yep. All in all, I’d say someone is getting canceled. God, I hope it’s no one I care about! The consequences, we assume, would be dire. Well anyway on today’s show there’s that kind of stuff. And some Catholic stuff (don’t write in saying you’re Catholic I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And some surfing stuff (don’t write in saying you’re a surfer I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And of course, our old friend Stringy. Stringy, we love you!

It’s finally time to discover the future of bathrooms. What is it? What will it be? A toilet with a battery? That weird grilling situation from the old Home Improvement episodes? A sink with “good vibes”?? Nope! It’s got to be a bidet with a sticker of “The Dude” from Big Lebowski on it. If that’s what the future of bathrooms is, then get me that damn DeLorean! I’m going back to the past!! Is that what happened in that movie? I honestly don’t remember. I hate Back to the Future. But this isn’t about that. It’s about other stuff.Like an incomprehensible AI show, an inscrutable AI text messaging app, and a downright confusing conspiratorial book pitch from a guy I wouldn’t trust to find an Easter egg, much less a missing person. Easter’s coming up. Don’t forget to get your eggs. Oh God, I just realized…Easter’s gonna cost a fortune this year!! Uh yeah, this IS the worst timeline. And me without a DeLorean again…don’t that beat all! (Did they do multiverses in those movies? I honestly don’t know)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.

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.

“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!
