Your Kickstarter Sucks

It's another YKS and my heart is full of Thanksgiving! On today's show we're talking about the REAL message of Seinfeld, whether the murder hornets are the last thing we need/were on our bingo card, and if we all had the same fun little magic kits when we were kids (sounds like we didn't!) Plus, shitting into a graboid's mouth, a stupid Reddit scam that actually won't work somehow, and the future of Rock 'n' Roll. If that ain't enough for ya then maybe the rest of the show parts I didn't mention will be. There's a lot in there!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.For more YKS, check out the Patreon! Now with video! This week on YKS Premium...well, I'm just gonna tell ya up front. It's a nasty one. We recorded a commentary track for IndieGoGo independent film darling, The Dip Run. It's a heartwarming tale about a bunch of disgusting Proud Boys who drive cross country in an RV to pick up a load of dip. We probably bit off more than we could "chew" on this one, to be honest. These guys are dicks. But their movie sucks, too, so check that out on Friday. This week's show is sponsored by BetterHelp. For 10% off your first month, go to Betterhelp.com/YKS. A million people are already doing it. Might as well be 1,000,001. We're also brought to you by HelloFresh. Now I know what you're thinking -- "Wow, that sounds really quick, fun, and healthy!" Yep. You got it dude. Maybe you should do the ads. Anyway go to HelloFresh.com/yourkickstartersucks12 and use code yourkickstartersucks12 if you wanna get 12 free meals and free shipping. Hosted on Acast.

We get into Darth Maul's big red "thing", our crazy college drinking days, and the sad demise of the Slim Jim social media pages. Plus we've got a movie about some corncob who met Donald Trump, another Bitcoin scam, and the last couple of synapses firing off in an IT guy's brain. No, I'm not talking about Mike! Come on! Hey, want more YKS? Well cowpoke, mosey on over to the YKS Premium Patreon and have yourself a lookie loo. First of all, it's where you'll find exclusive VIDEO of today's action-packed episode. Of course, there's also ad-free episodes, bonuses on top of bonuses, and much more. But who gives a flip? We're talkin' 24 frames, and they're happening every second. So check that shit out! This week's episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Check these guys out, I'm serious! For professional, affordable, convenient counseling, I doubt you could do any better.

Episode 202! They said it couldn't be done. On this week's show we're talking about eating freakin BUGS, why you don't see ol' Bigfoot around anymore, the unpredictable demise of Crackle, and so much more there's no way I could fit it into this description. I also do an approximately 5 minute monologue about exercise during which you may be able to hear Mike walking out of his office and down the street. This is one of those episodes that you just straight up listen to and enjoy yourself in the moment, ok? It ain't goin in the museum. No shame in that! It's normal to do this!For more YKS, check out the YKS Premium Patreon. This month, we're debuting YKS-Vision(TM), the name for our video podcasts I didn't clear with Mike in advance of writing this blurb. For $8/month, our Squeeze Louise patrons are getting extra bonus episodes every month AND accompanying video put together by visionary director Producer Dan. This week we welcome back "King of the Scams" Chris James to talk about all of this crap you see around nowadays, his latest victories in the ongoing Prank Wars, and his show's debut on Means (Mean?) TV, all in glorious 24 frames per second. Today's YKS is sponsored by BetterHelp. If I were in charge of BetterHelp, my idea for a slogan would be "BetterHelp: What's your problem?" Needless to say, I'm not in charge of BetterHelp or anything else really, and their slogan is something else. They probably don't have one. But if you'd like to try their professional, confidential counseling service, check it out at BetterHelp.com/yks and use code YKS for 10% off your first month. And maybe if there's a slogan submission box, try the thing I said. Hosted on Acast.

I need an always-on camera in my shower....right now! And I need it to be called something really stupid, like The Cherdle! On today's YKS, we're finding out if nanotechnology is real, dealing with being notorious overachievers, the best ways to kill a horse, and, of course, the untimely demise of The Ron Burgundy Show. Mike set me up with some bad ones on this ep, gang, so sorry for that in advance. Hey remember HARAMBE???Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.YKS Premium is still, despite our many haters and enemies, going strong. My advice to you, if you enjoy the program, but care only a small amount about the Kickstarter aspect, and wish you could hear more from Mike and myself about movies, and whackin' off, and eatin' snacks, occasionally with guests, would be to check us out on Patreon. That's where we "hang out" and "chill", and it's really goin' off! This week we've got the first ever JokeBlogger Top 10 x Real or Fake crossover showdown. What the hell could that be? Only one way to find out (with several options/ways to choose...)Today's episode of the show is sponsored by NordVPN. Unlock your damn streaming sites with NordVPN.

Gather round folks, it's time to hear The Amazing JF read from a list of common household groceries. Please have your pen and paper ready for this one! On today's show we find out whether or not DB's got bars, and also I have some notes referring to the following: "what's going on", "weird thing, 2 minutes", and "ether stank". I need to start taking better notes during the show so I remember what to write about in here. Hopefully some of that makes sense or seems interesting, because I'm not sure the 3-D tattooing preview application or the suppressing student loan utilization projects are download-juicers. So strap on a Bottcoola, cause this might be a slog. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

We've all heard of eggs. Hell, I had two of em this mornin. But I just kept thinkin...what if there was a metal kind that I couldn't eat??? And it was very expensive as well? Blammo! Kickstarter has something to say about that, my friends, and it's "buy this weird product"! Plus we got some great tunes from Mr Baloney, some help rehabbing those nutty Republicans, and a bunch of other stuff I forgot to write down as well. I think the episode was pretty long, and, well, I think that's just great! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Hey man, make like Justin Bieber and play the hits! On today's show we're joined by a very special guest: Mecha Don Cheadle. MDC tells us all about stomping around Neo-Nashville, battling his fiercest enemies from Planet Munch, and what a crazy year we've all had. Oh oh oh oh oh I've got the moves like Jim Carrey! Start the damn episode! None of that shit I said was real! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

We got some great shit coming up this month: Sean and Hayes from Hollywood Handbook, our friend Tom from ChapoFYM, and I bet we will even have a third idea at some point. No ads, discounted merch and more, all over there at the thing I said before. This episode of YKS is brought to you by Manscaped. Got Bush? Talking about pubes here, gang. Take that mons pubis behind the woodshed and go wild on it with the Lawnmower 3.0. You could pay 20% more and cover your own shipping if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it. Probably would make more sense to use promo code YKS at Manscaped.com, and keep that 20% + shipping money in the ol' back pocket there. Also sponsoring today's show: NordVPN. Quite simply, you ain't gonna find a better Virtual Private Network anywhere on God's green earth. Go to Mars if you want, but don't come crying to me and NordVPN when it ain't any better up there neither.
