Mike Hale and Jesse Farrar comb through the crowdfunding dumpster to tell you what projects are worth supporting with your hard-earned dollar. So far, it's been absolutely nothing, but whether it's a social media website for dogs, a toilet brush that reminds you to drink more water, or 5,000 offensive card games, maybe something will eventually be good!

Episodes

Episode 466: They Call Him Tater Salad 06.07.2026

All I want to talk about is the shit wizards…but I know that I can’t! Obviously they would use a big turd as a wand – but, again, I can’t talk about that right now. I need to, instead, focus on the important things, such as a podcast about Apple products. So that would probably be about the iPad or whatever, and who came up with the buttons on it and so forth. That’s one episode of it. Another one...

Episode 465: Welcome to Congleton Town 29.06.2026

I hate my headphones. There’s no pictures on them!! Or it can’t take pictures, or something! The point is, I really hate my headphones. And I think the only way to solve this problem is to not buy headphones from one of the, like, 3 or maybe 5 headphones companies in the entire world, but just some guy. That will improve my life! And speaking of improving my life, does anyone have a solution for n...

Episode 464: Take the Gut Quiz 22.06.2026

Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not “I need food” or “I need a job” but “Take the gut quiz!”. What could this mean?  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. Social Media by Maddalena Alvarez. Executive Producer Tim Faust (@crulge) Catch our review of the...

Episode 463: Cooking Is Not Just A Food 15.06.2026

What is this episode even about? Well, what do YOU want it to be about? With just a few taps. You can personalize your YKS episode to be about your favorite topic, customized for the day of the week, or even make a super duper special one for your birthday! That’s right, an episode of YKS all about your special day. Mike opens up the episode (how unusual!) by singing “Happy Birthday”, using the tr...

Episode 462: Chasing the Perfect Hot Dog 08.06.2026

Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it’s making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they’re raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don’t know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention they have o...

Episode 461: Your Gerbil’s Horoscope 01.06.2026

Oh ho ho well if it isn’t probably the 4th or 5th time I’ve started an episode description out with “Oh ho ho”. It’s weird because I do not talk like this in real life. I’ve probably never said those words in that order in my whole life. But there’s something about putting pen to paper that really brings out my “silly side”. And if you like silly, you’re gonna love this episode of YKS, which at it...

Episode 460: I Want Hokey Pokey 25.05.2026

Don't actually click on any of this crap I'm just copying and pasting it from the Diamond and Silk Show episode descriptions on Lindell TV. And also that's the way it looks on the site. I didn't format it weird. They made it look that weird. Well, I guess just Silk did. Because our beautiful "Diamond"'s heart has just given out! Ah! Medicare made simple. Call Chapter today for free and unbiased Me...

Episode 459: Hunt Fish Golf Drink 18.05.2026

Welcome, my grazy friends, to Pleasure Land! Well, unless someone else has already said the phrase “Welcome to…” before saying the name of some place, in which case I obviously heard that first and ripped them off. But until the call out thread we will simply move forward! On today’s show we have some socks that stay together in the year 2026, some lady who thinks she invented ranch dressing, and,...

Episode 458: PB&J Classic Grill and Bar 11.05.2026

My food is on the ground, my food is on the ground! If you listen closely, I’m making a sound! Tom Green voice. No but for real, what are we gonna do about all this food on the ground? There’s a piece of chicken in the dirt! There’s pizza in the mulch! There’s jalapeno poppers on the floor! (I call the ground the floor). But most of all, there’s 5 other Kickstarters that are not signs you can put...

Episode 457: My Homie Has An Incredible Nose For Fragrance 04.05.2026

Hey everyone I’m the magic frog. You can call me whatever you want for now, because as soon as you turn away, all memory of me will be wiped clean from your simple human mind! Now, to the task at hand – you have a single wish (eh…inflation) that I will grant. Just say the word, and it will be yours! What do you desire? Riches, fame, having a really good phone number that just kind of “flows”? What...

Episode 456: Monkey Adventures 27.04.2026

Start your adventure! As a Banana Buddy, you get your very own game key and an exclusive wallpaper to show you’re part of the jungle crew. Swing into action and join the Gigawix world! Plus, an ice maker for those always on the go. It’s a new YKS. Can you flippin believe that? After the weekend we had? Criminy. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle...

Episode 455: I’ve Farted and I Can’t Throw Up 20.04.2026

Well it’s 4/20 and of course that means we prepared something extra special for all our most herbaceous listeners! All we had to do was remember the date this episode was coming out, and plan something well in advance that hit the perfect note between disaffectedly sarcastic and downright outrageous. Then throw in 6 of our good old fashioned Kickstarters and you’ve got yourself the ideal episode o...

Episode 454: YKS Load Of The Month 13.04.2026

Get a load of this one, bub! It’s an episode of the show we have all grown quite fond of over the years…with some guys on there, and some fun with a website, and hey who knows, maybe even a couple of laughs as well. If we’re lucky! And oh boy, I think we are! On today’s show we’ve got some good stuff for the army guys, which is awesome, and some bible stuff – love that. But it wouldn’t be today’s...

Episode 453: The Podcast That Follows You 06.04.2026

Listen to the show, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell! Or perhaps we already are! On today’s episode of YKS, recorded BEFORE Easter – so we won’t be talking very much about Easter or describing our Easter festivities this year in any terms other than pure guesses and maybe some hopeful wishes about the holiday to come – the eggless docket serves us up some rather “hoppy” tales of ent...

Episode 452: My Car is in the Movie 30.03.2026

I wish I had come up with “Smart Beer”. That’s such a funny idea. But some business dick beat me to it. I wonder if I’m losing my fastball. Oh, no, I guess I’m not, because my copy of All The Pain That Money Can Buy is right here on my CD shelf! I’d like to see some Wharton stiff come up with that. But they could never. They probably don’t even know that Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with...

Episode 451: High School and Some College 23.03.2026

Now I’m just a simple country iced tea drinker, but it seems to me that if you want to drink iced tea, there are some crucial components to such a refreshing beverage. Oh actually nevermind that I’d rather talk about the soul food place I went to this week where a real bumpkin looking customer was asked “Are you a tea drinker?” and he got a free sample of the sweet tea. After hemming and hawing ov...

Episode 450: Dan’s Apartment 16.03.2026

(David Attenborough voice) Bitch…you live like this?? Recorded from Producer Dan’s home studio in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, it’s the return of YKS: No Plans Edition, in which we kind of just fumble around the website and get sidetracked by whatever else is going on! Which, in this case, mostly means looking for various “pens”. It’s good. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Crai...

Episode 449: The Absurd Appeal of Spongebob 09.03.2026

Not every Apple Watch is trapped on the wrist…the new “It all starts with a shift”, or “Pets always can’t make us stop hugging them”? Only time will tell. And you can see the time by looking at your old watch which you have shoved into a Game Boy case and put on your nightstand for some reason. Until then, we’ll always have hot swappable, quick reload boba tea cups – for the tactical milkshake dri...

Episode 448: We’re Gonna Make You Sick 02.03.2026

Hey everyone! Thanks for “March”ing into the episode haha. Well obviously I’m in a silly mood today, and when you hear about these Kickstarters, I think you’ll know why! But for this one, you “Must Love Dogs”! Because two of them are about dogs. And I was just thinking about that movie I’ve never seen before. I’m not even sure who’s in it. And I bet it sucks. But when it comes to talking about mov...

Episode 447: Two 40 Year Olds Made An Amazing Podcast All By Themselves 23.02.2026

I honestly can’t believe it. These two old guys put out another podcast. And they do it basically every week! Now, it’s not really about anything in particular. And it embarrasses them if you bring it up. Most people seem to use it to go to sleep. But like…wow! Lots of people don’t do podcasts. And these guys did. At the end of the day, yeah, it sucks, but they still did it! Plus, a different guy...

Episode 446: Top 10 Rarest Labubu 16.02.2026

There is good in this world…take my little robot vacuum, for instance. No, don’t! I love him! But really though. He’s just doing his thing. Sucking up dirt and wiping the floor and only driving through dog doo doo one time in his whole life and never again. Then he goes back to his hole and throws up the dirt and pees out the yucky water and falls asleep for 23 hours. In a way, isn’t that what we...

Episode 445: Boosting Crotch Dimensions 09.02.2026

He drops back…taking his time…locates his target…and boom! The connection is made! That’s right, the connection between podcast file and RSS feed, of course! And with that, another historic episode of YKS has been posted, and JF has showered DB with the celebratory Sports Electrolyte Drink. What color was it? Well it was either red or green…let’s ask that fool!! Nah but that was a lot of fun. And...

Episode 444: A Serious Moment with Bubbles the Chimp 02.02.2026

If Bubbles the Chimp were here today, I like to think he would say “Hey man, YKS is, like, my favorite podcast, dude!” And I just remembered that he is alive, but I guess I meant “here” in the sense of like, being right beside me. Which would frankly be terrifying. I don’t want to be anywhere near a chimp. With all due respect to chimps, of course! They seem to have a lot to offer the world, and i...

Episode 443: Let’s Get Some of that Sauce 26.01.2026

Alright, the power’s out and the heat’s off. Let’s not use up the last bit of our phone battery hotspotting the laptop to write some long drawn out episode description gag where I replace the lyrics to Jidenna’s breakout hit “Classic Man” with stuff about doing a podcast. But like, it would be really easy. I’m a Podcast Man. You can be me with an SM7b. I’m a Podcast Man. And oh yeah I’m dressed re...

Episode 442: Excursion to the Donkey Valley 19.01.2026

Mike said he was sick for this one. I don’t know. He didn’t seem sick to me. He seemed suspiciously at the top of his game. And thank goodness for that. Because we needed all his powers for this episode – one full of fun, mirth, and madness! And some Kickstarters as well. To wit: a doctor trying to become a content creator, our favorite Kitchen Idiots, a watch that doesn’t work, and more. Oh and j...
