Episode 414: I’m a Karen And I Believe in You

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.

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.

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! And I’m not talking about the new movie that could potentially be someone’s “Star Wars”! I’m talkin’ something else, altogether, baby! Let’s see what else.

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.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

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.

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.

Now this is interesting. It says here…it looks like it says right here…that it’s almost getting close to that famous time of year known as Christmastime! Ohhh!! Heavens to murgatroyd! 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.
