Episode 427: Everyone Deserves The Option To Enjoy A Carbonated Treat

I just found out I have a power bank that’s been recalled. That’s pretty annoying. Now I gotta fill out some forms, dispose of it properly, and wait around for a reimbursement. Plus, I guess, hope it doesn’t explode. That would suck! But you know what else has been recalled? The Kickstarters from this week’s episode, by me, when I reread what we were doing when we recorded this episode! I guess that doesn’t really add much “zing” for you guys, to know that I was looking at this and kind of nodding a little bit. But I believe in full transparency in the creative process! For instance, On today’s show we were GROWLing…but our dogs were all too cool, thanks to a new type of harness tech! Plus we wanted to COMMIT to funding the arts in Florida…but we canceled all those plans. And…a third one! What’s it gonna be? Guess you’ll have to TUNE in to “find out”!

Another Crazy Monday…Another Crazy YKS. This is one crazy show, and what does that make the listeners of it? Ha. Well, you guessed it and said it. Not me! But hey. Enough craziness…or is it? Not for this crazy guy! Nothing is ever enough! Except when it comes to have six Kickstarter projects to talk about on one episode, in which crazy case I find to be the exact correct amount. Curious, that! That being said, what would they even be…?Some Japanese treats for your dog, a card game about pimping, and a dashboard toy of a twerking lady? Well, there’s only one word for that. And oh yeah…it’s YKS!!! 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 had to pause Family Guy to write this episode description, so it had better be good. On today’s show, we find out you can make pet treats at home with just a blender, steamer, fryer, dehydrator, and quality ingredients you can actually pronounce. We also invented a way to wipe our heads off with a towel. And of course, we also learned about self pleasure. Coincidentally, that’s what the Family Guy episode is about. It’s a Lois episode, so it’s not that good, but what else am I gonna do? Write the episode description? Not likely. Lucky there’s a podcasting guy…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.

If only there were some other way! And if it were a product! That I could maybe buy? Too bad we live in HELL and that’s not real. On today’s show we have a culinary trend from 15 years ago…today! Plus a moron’s 3-steps-removed gambling business, your run of the mill AI Slopfest, and more. Let’s get Christy with it! Oh yeah!

It’s not JUST a fun restaurant concept, it’s ALSO a good way to get foodborne illness. Wow! What else could you want? Other than seafood stored at proper temperatures, handwashing protocols observed, and “all the rest”! But still! It’s fun how it goes around on the little train. Or belt or whatever it is. For moron this, check out YKS Premium S33E07. And now, for this other stuff here.That’s right, it looks like we got ourselves a full-fledged episode of YKS with all the trimmings! A crazy guy’s invention? Yes. A crypto scam? Yes. SEVERAL dorks working away at nothing in particular? You got it! It’s an embarrassment of riches…or at least some normal kind of embarrassment, right here, on YKS.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

You’d have to be a pretty big idiot, not to mention evil and desperate and talentless, to scan an image of Donald Trump onto a cookie and try to sell it on Kickstarter, to say it’s not political somehow, and then to get a fraction of your meager goal. But oh well. At least you (?????). Sorry that one is really stuck in my craw…like some bush league cookies. I need to take some small kitty cat breaths to calm down. Or perhaps I will put a vibrator on my chest. Ahhh yes. Now, someone bring me my shoe horn! I’d like to fall down and break my neck.

In terms of our feelings about the industry and its various captains I guess you could say YKS is something of a tech-cynical show. We like our little gadgets enough to not be outright antagonistic, but take a dim view of what counts for progress in the minds of the Silicon Valley elite. In particular, when it comes to the marketing phenomenon known as AI, it’s difficult to imagine what could even possibly qualify as a compelling use case for the technology as we understand it today – and there is no shortage of failures on Kickstarter.com. However, on today’s episode, that all changes. Someone figured out how to make AI clean up cat poop. Plus, we’re taking Christianity to the moon, social media outdoors, and males to FreedomTV. It’s about damn 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.

Well, you’d have to be something of a computer fan to understand today’s episode title…and no, I’m not talking about Be Quiet!, Lian Li, Noctua, or Cooler Master! But if you’ll shut up for a second, you’ll see I’m clearly joking, and there’s plenty of comedy to be found in today’s episode. Why, how could it NOT be funny to talk about a parrot babysitting your sundowning parents or a fascist sympathizer making a corny board game? Obviously we had no choice but to “overclock” the funny meter and generate dozens of PetaLaughs per hour! Oh Lois! You’re gonna love this episode! Stewie Griffin.
