Your Kickstarter Sucks

Well it’s Cyber Monday and you know what that means…"every product from every retailer, service, marketplace, subscription platform, independent seller, and payment processor come in with everything for a HUGE sale"! Actually I think we forgot it was Cyber Monday when we recorded this. But still, we managed to discuss a good number of products, including: another cringey party game about getting canceled, a device that will keep your basketball from breaking off the inflation needle and having it rattle around inside the ball, and an actually pretty cool cyber diaper that both hosts wear while recording the episode. One of those is fake but the others are real, and if you want to know which is which, ask David Spade! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

I can’t be the only one who thinks that if these guys got together they could make one of the greatest paywalled bonus content podcasts of all time. If you remember that post from a while ago.

I fell down the steps earlier but don’t worry it was only like 2 steps and they were carpeted. So everything’s fine over here. How is it going with you? Oh, I see. Well, hopefully it will get better soon. Like maybe right after you listen to this episode of YKS featuring: Larry, Curly, and the other guys! Jewelry made from trash but not in the cool way! And projects related to basketball, non-alcoholic beverages, and huge TVs that not even we can support. Can you imagine? They would have to be pretty rank. And they are. Ah well. Time to go back up the carpeted stairs in my very slick socks quite safely and easily. And if you don’t hear from me until Friday, assume the worst!

Let’s make this one quick, Chrome wants to update itself for the 19th time this week and I need to relaunch it and lose all my tabs. Oh it doesn’t lose all your tabs they should just open right back up or they’re in your history…blah blah blah…who cares! I FEEL like I’m going to lose all my tabs. And my feelings don’t care about facts. Now let’s discuss Today’s Topics. On this week’s ep, we’ve got a meat cube, a book light, and a lollipop. Sound lackluster? Well, I’ve cleverly left out some key details of those projects that might just get you clicking on the play button. That’s my secret. I want you to click play! And that was Today’s Topics.

You are not going to believe some of the Kickstarters we dredged up this week. An umbrella that moves around for you?? A social network for dogs?? An ad for the woods?? If you believe all that you would believe what we dredged up this week because that’s what it is. And like 3 other things. And somehow it takes like 2 hours to do all that. Insane. What is going with these guys?? I’m worried sick!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Did somebody say…McLnald’s? I did, when I went into the drive thru…and that’s exactly what I got! On today’s show we are putting our rock horns up and making the piss face while we slide a towel over our Jeep seats. Plus we try to figure out how to cook ramen, whether European guys can be funny, and how cops like to party!! So grab a dog bowl and start slurpin...it’s an all-new YKS!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

We’ve just wrapped up an all-bangers Miketober with two episodes featuring some of our favorite crazy pairs: First, Tom and Demi from BigSoftTitty.PNG joined for Event Horizon, and after that, the Doughboys, Nick and Mitch, hopped on for a review of The Gate!

It's another YKS and you just KNOW this bad boy is CHUCK FOOL of laughs! This week we got some old favourites: a stupid assed app, a useless electronic piece of shit, and we threw in a sack of crystals for good measure! Also on this episode: celebrity hair stylist Corm Deedle stops by to give Dan a surprise makeover -- (You won't believe his new 'do!), the boys brush up on their "netiquette" with social-media expert Churb Peproni and wildlife handler Marc Dogballs drops in to chat about what else: BIRDS!

Alright folks it’s time to updoot the show. So just take that little mouse clicker and hover it over the, uh, show. Then it’s simply time to press the mouse clicker downwards, locking in the updoot and signaling to the rest of the people looking at the show that you have decided it is updootable! And from there, all you need to do is to continue doing that forever and ever until the internet is good. Thank you for your time and doots!On today’s show we got a very interesting question about ice cream and doodoo, a terrifying trip through r/TwoSentenceHorror, and, of course, DB’s patented “Wild Mike Challenge”. Plus, we got memes for Christians, a fucking cup for fussy little weenies, more AI stuff that sucks, and ORGIES with your FRIENDS! How crazy is that?! Enough to keep a person of average intelligence entertained for about 90 minutes? God I hope so. My life depends on it! Oh wow it's a lot longer than that. Is that good?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.

Animals…they’re basically humans with smaller brains. But what if we could make their braings bigger, so we could kiss on them. And help them watch TV. Well, that’s one problem our nation’s beloved psychics and button-builders have been working on for many years. And if this episode is any indication, they may be getting very close! To stealing your money! On this week’s show we’re comforting sad lizards, buying into a cell phone technology even more embarrassing than the dreaded green bubble, and of course giving ourselves over to the incredible advances of AI Reddit-Scrapers. Finally…a worse podcast than YKS! Just joking around, I think we do a decent job here. Listen now and tell me if I’m wrong!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. A chill is in the air…It must be a sign…that you should subscribe to YKS Premium today! Miketober has begun and it’s going horrifically so far! Which, in this case, is good!

And this week, author/illustrator Mattie Lubchansky joins the show to talk about their awesome book Boys Weekend and the film Amityville 3-D!
