Your Kickstarter Sucks

Hey gang, it's the YKS boys' annual week off, so we're bringing some YKS Premium content out of the vault for your enjoyment. If you haven't heard this classic ep yet, you are in for a treat. And if you have, well, it's still a treat! Plus, feel free enjoy the brand new intro at the beginning. Or not! Either way, our friend Mark Brendle joins us to talk about The Dead Zone, a very weird little movie from the twisted mind of Stephen King that has, dare I say, become very relevant in the last couple of months. It's a great choice by Brendle and I think we learn a lot as well as having a good time. Short of hanging out with Neil deGrasse Tyson, I don't think you'd find a better way to combine those two things than this episode. Happy hall of days every one, and we will be back with some 100% new shit next week. Cheers,Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

It's a great site to get windshield wipers for your car, I can tell you that much. I put some on my car and it took like 1 second. It says up to 30. But mine was only 1. Maybe even a half. Don't believe me? Ok hotshot. Head on over to Wipers123.com and use promo code YOURKICKSTARTERSUCKS for $10 off orders of SpeedSets.Plus, we've got a good deal for ya on HelloFresh. There's only one problem: you're gonna get a lot of money off your order. Wait a minute, I just realized that's good! Just go to hellofresh.com/yourkickstartersucks80 and use promo code yourkickstartersucks80 for, you guessed it, $80 off and free shipping. Hello, fresh! That's what I would say to it. This week over at the YKS Premium Patreon, we're taking the day off from all-new, instant-classic content. But we will be re-releasing the Squeeze Louise tier Miketober ep with Bakkoon and Simon Barrett, on They Live, along with another cute little intro. (And Squeeze Louise heads, don't worry, the end of year mailbag is coming soon). Thanks everybody for supporting the show and keeping me out of the Google Docs Resume Template hell I was in for a while. We hope you have enjoyed at least some of the stuff we're doing. And more fun shit to come I assume! Hosted on Acast.

Imagine a futuristic world where everything is basically the same....except there's, like, some pink graffiti around and maybe a robot zips by carrying some food. What moral implications would that have, on our society...and what would YOU choose to become? More importantly...who cares! It's another YKS folks and this time we've got a video game about being Jesus (but you probably don't get any cool powers), the worst innovation in underwear history, and a robotic salad trailer idea from a young man trying his best to make it in this crazy world. Oh and did I mention there's a bunch of LED lights and ripped jeans everywhere in this new world...this seems insane! And it's a ways into the future but not too far away. So. Still pretty interesting. Not as interesting as Futurama though. Anyway that's the program and please enjoy it. Thank you.

You're not gonna believe this, gang, but we were able to pull it together for another episode. This week on the show we've got a tactical scarf, the secrets behind the American flag revealed, a Karen drinking game, and a nasty porno about fucking the President. And that's just the good stuff! Kidding...I'm kidding! Relax. Plus we recap the biggest story of the week, when I watched Home Alone and kept track of which guys got hurt the most. It's another day ruined by the jerks of football, but we power through and give you guys the best episode of YKS in December so far. It's no problem at all though.

Well, Thanksgiving is over, the Holiday(TM) Tree is up, and that darn tryptophan is finally wearing off! Time to dig in to some leftovers, aka some stupid crap from a website. On today's program, we've got what we all need this year, some funny socks! Plus, a simple way to defeat the purpose of wearing a mask, a new robotic friend that we'll just have to bury eventually, and of course the return of an old friend. Damn they brought Saved By the Bell back! That's not the friend I'm talking about. It just came up while I was writing this and I paid attention to it like a dumb dog. Actually it derailed me by about 10 minutes. Gotta turn the TV off while I'm working. But I won't! Enjoy the episode folks and turn the TV off while you're listening!Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 176 is here....that's huge. That is a huge accomplishment. Plus there were probably a few we lost along the way. And then the bonus episodes on top of that (plus the ones we lost there). God. That's probably, I don't know, what, the equivalent of 56,000 shows or so? Lot of mileage on these lungs but they just keep on tickin', I'll tell you what. And still no 100th episode celebration in sight. Well for this week's show, Mike has picked the Kickstarters so you know what that means: it's just stuff he wants me to buy him. Will I buy him any of it? Will he make it subtle that he wants me to buy it? There's only one way to find out: download and listen 10 times in a row on all your different devices and through a variety of IP addresses! That's a joke, relax. Unless you're just bored or whatever....Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.This week's YKS is sponsored by GoDaddy, a fine place to buy a website. Well, they've also got a podcast called School of Hustle. Makes sense, right? So check that out.Today's show is also sponsored by HelloFresh. I do love going to the store but sometimes it stresses me out and makes me go nuts. So a big box of ingredients coming to the house works out pretty nice. For $90 off, go to HelloFresh.com/yourkickstartersucks90 and use the promo code yourkickstartersucks90. It ships free too but the $90 off seems like the bigger deal to me. I had some really good pita from there. Ok folks I'm not gonna lie to ya, I'm tired of typing. So I'll merely say: check us out on Patreon for bonus episodes and more "you know what". Thanks! Hosted on Acast.

Ring ring....hello? Yes it's the YKS War Room. Yes, our refrigerator is running. Why do you ask? Oh crap, you're doing a prank on us. Well, just so you know, the NEAS Secret Service is listening in on all these calls, so. And we've been crying in the bathroom all day as well. On today's show we've got some funny little calls, which you probably guessed! Plus, some new brain hacks for memory keeping, a new kitchen gadget that sucks, and one of the all-time freaks from hell is back with another stupid ass movie. That's basically our crazy ass show, thanks for coming to our weird little section of the internet. Hope you had fun. And if you got too freaked out, I'm soooooooo sorry. NOT.

I wouldn't buy windshield wipers anywhere else, even from the cute little kid with the "Wipers 25 cents" sign set up at the end of my street. I don't care how backwards the letters are! Wipers123 is, quite simply, going to stomp him out of existence. And good riddance!

Brian and Ed, you beautiful sons of bitches, you finally did it. You -- We --Trumped Ronald Plump at last. Now to enjoy the next four to eight years of peaceful, social justice oriented, climate conscious stewardship from our trusted progressive ally, Joe Biden. Heh. Anyway also on today's show we've got what is hopefully the last word on ironic red hat co-opting paraphernalia, Cooking For Men about 10 years too late, and a DOA exercise product even JF's tiny, pathetic ass couldn't make use of. That's pretty much the whole show so go listen to it now, before the world gets really really good and you don't have time to download podcasts anymore!

And for our second sponsor, we've got a...New sponsor alert! It's Curiosity Stream! There's so many documentaries on there we doubt you'll ever need to watch scripted, fictional content ever again. That stuff's fake! But not the award-winning exclusives & originals on Curiosity Stream, featuring such luminaries as Sir David Attenborough, Stephen Hawking, and Nick Offerman. And here's an offer-man for our listeners: Use promo code YKS to get a whole year of Curiosity Stream on your iPad, iPhone, or iDontKnowWhat for just $14.99! There's some stuff on there about how capitalism is a big bummer too, so check that out.And yeah we're still doing YKS Premium as well!

Checking in with Justin Bieber's pastors...Talkin' Blue Guys....The War on Christmas begins...and finally, David Hasselhoff returns to the stage. Obviously we want you to download and enjoy this episode today, but hell, tomorrow might even be a good day to put some earbuds in and tune everything out. Put it on your bluetooth speaker or pass your mopey, ironic brother the aux cord and crank up YKS for the whole neighborhood to hear. Maybe that's what will bring us all together! Doubt it, but if you don't try, someone somewhere might get mad at you! That should motivate ya! Ok in all seriousness thanks for listening and sorry for what I said in this episode about the movie Halloween, which does suck but I'm still sorry about that.
