Your Kickstarter Sucks

Comedy EN ↓ 485 episodes

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 155: Just Throw It Away 29.06.2020

Hey what if Mr. Magoo was walking around in today's times? It's not that difficult to imagine. Folks we've got a long episode today...almost as long as my hair has been getting due to quarantine! And it's just about as good, too. Smack that play button for some classic jokes, goofs, and smart stuff to say, as well as little Canadian pokemon guys, a new stupid mask type, a bad board game, and more....

Episode 154: Happy Daddy's Day 22.06.2020

Happy Daddy's Day Everyone Who Cares! On today's show we have a brand new character from DB, "Mikey the Centrist", plus fixes for the great problems of our time: deadly virus pandemics, police brutality, and gender neutral piss pans. Wow! I sure hope social influencers and politicians and the Illuminati are listening to this so we can get some shit done! Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah...

Episode 153: Uber For Help 15.06.2020

Live from New York, it's.....YKS? What if that's what it was? Heck I don't know but I think it would most likely change from Weekend Update to Weekday Update. Due to, well, that's when the show comes out for one thing. And that's just one change. I might do some other ones, but of course I haven't really had much time to think about it. What, with everything going on in the world and all that stuf...

Episode 152: The War At Home 08.06.2020

The US Postal Service brought to a screeching halt by widespread rioting and looting...Psychological warfare on our nation's sleeping-in citizens ramps up dangerously...Some news articles are too difficult to skim...Fixing the healthcare system with but a simple T-shirt...All that and more on today's YKS, an episode that's up on time and very full of many minutes of talking! Now that's what we cal...

Episode 151: OJ's Place 02.06.2020

New schedule of YKS! How it's going for you so far? For us, it's going very well. Nobody asked! Fine! On today's YKS, we say goodbye to some beloved Nashville establishments, continue the pop culture conversation around #ReleaseTheJesseCut, and plumb the intellectual depths of sexual coffin scenarios. Plus, an update on butter tech, finally figuring out who the good cops are, and bringing values b...

Episode 150: To Catch A Vibe 25.05.2020

Hey, it's Monday....what the...???? Haha. That's what you sound like right now. First of all, relax. Calm down. It's a joke. Actually, it's not a joke at all. It's real and it's the future of YKS. We're doing Mondays now, alright? Try to keep up. This week on the show Mike and JF are talking about Donald Trump's big wet booty hole, the Problems with Movies (numerous), and some vicious hand to hand...

Episode 149: M.I.C.H.A.E.L. H.A.L.E. 19.05.2020

On today's YKS... The first use of italics in an episode description that I can recall, so that's big news. Plus! Should we be celebrating the vulva? Many people are saying, "Yes! With a book!" Thankfully, our friend Lil' Evan is here to save the day. And we've got so much more than that....we're talking about the Jetsonification of breakfast, we're talking outer body experiences, we're talking ba...

Episode 148: Armchair Neuroscientists 12.05.2020

Paint drying may be the famously boring thing to watch happen....but what if you only listened to the part that happens before you even get to paint! That is today's episode in a nutshell, as Mike and JF discuss the finer points of drywall repair, the disease of serial inventorship, the great democratization of sub-South Parkian animation software, and political protest poems (with fiddle accompan...

Episode 147: Get The Led Out 05.05.2020

A smarter butter dish....innovative design...a magnet to hold the included knife. If only life were this simple! Some would say that it is, and those people are making lots of money selling products online. On today's YKS, we actually talk about some of these crazy products, with a bit of a critical eye, to let you, the skeptical consumer, learn something, or whatever. And that is how you make a s...

Episode 146: One For The Road 28.04.2020

Ohhh now this is so nice. It's another episode of YKS. This week on the show, I didn't take too many notes during recording because we were having such a good time. So that right there should tell you something. But it says here on the official episode outline that we talked about a Covid-19 coin, a combination cup + bluetooth speaker, and playing cards that, let's just say, the average simpleton...

Episode 145: The Bug That Got Away 21.04.2020

Headed on down to South Park gonna have myself a time....oh damn! It's the South Park Guys. Carman and everyone. They are here and they are ready to equal opportunity offend. But First! Nearly 90 minutes of two sad guys in their houses going "Uhh". On today's show we've got stupid snack innovations, more coffee trash from the coffee trash heap, some virus cash-ins, and a few things Mike pretends t...

Episode 144: Goblin Behavior 14.04.2020

Hello everyone, it's Mike and JF here and it's time to transition from the introduction part of the show notes to the early midpoint of the show notes. Wow we're already here. This is awesome. On today's show we're talking about the same stuff as usual, but with some very slight differences. We've got stupid shit for kids, condescending board games, cynical cash-ins, insane ramblings (and not just...

Episode 143: Mike's Way 07.04.2020

Ohhhhhh!!! Another one! This week on YKS, Mike and JF are talking sex tapes, dick pics, wasting your life, and some actually maybe kind of okay (?) Kickstarters? Maybe that was a mistake. But we have to go do some other shit now so this is the ep, and we are Boss Bitches so deal with it!! Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional r...

Episode 142: Goovis Young 31.03.2020

Oh no they did another YKS! It's a remote episode of course, which is fine. On this week's show we're trying out new intros, NOT going to the store, and doing hammer violence. It actually is remarkably similar to a normal episode of the show, which is either good or bad depending on if you like the show normally or not. Either way, you can't deny that it's here now. And it's better than going outs...

Unlocked! YKS Premium S5E5: In the Passenger's Seat with Chris James 24.03.2020

The YKS remote recording setup is not yet ready to go (we hired the Joe Biden guys), so for today we'll be releasing a classic YKS Premium episode from the archives. Originally released 2/8/19, this episode with the one and only Chris James touches on the NBA trade deadline (remember when we had sports?) and contains the first review of my rec league hoops performance. Look for Part 2 of that conv...

Episode 141: Dead Butt Syndrome 17.03.2020

Well here's a weird one for ya: with Mike Out Of Office, we're forced to go to Plan B: ask the 2 other guys in JF's house to do the show. Luckily, past Jesseuary guest Greg Pollock (@weedguy420boner) and early Go Off Kings Producer Paul (@tinybaby) answer the call to talk about tired asses, the science of funniness, and streaming services for men. Which we need right now more than ever! Music for...

Episode 140: Mask On 10.03.2020

Folks we're out of the frying pan and into the fire at YKS HQ, as we (barely) survive a big ass tornado and now must escape a global pandemic while shacking up in the same quarters. So we're prepping ourselves with the best disease prevention campaigns Kickstarter has to offer, from a fake mask thing to another fake mask thing and more. Grab a tissue and check it out. Music for YKS is courtesy of...

Episode 139: Red Carpet Guys 03.03.2020

Well it's kind of busy over here today so I'm gonna do a short one of these. Today on YKS we got an update on becoming Real Hollywood Celebrities, and we got 6 Kickstarters to talk about, and we have a story about going to the store. So I hope you enjoy that and we will talk to you next week. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Addition...

Episode 138: Banana Money 25.02.2020

Did like 20 minutes on bananas for this one. Running out of shit to say? No, we are simply scratching the surface of our agricultural and horticultural information base. So, not only all that good stuff, but also: a candle that lights itself (?), a leap forward in toilet cleaning technology, and a very timely movie-based board game. Music for YKS is courtesy of The Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman,...

Episode 137: Everybody Shut Up 18.02.2020

Sometimes ya just gotta shut the fuck up. Except when you have to do a podcast for work, since it's your job now. So we're talking about some classic Twitter bullshit, things that are kind of jokes and kind of not, bad parenting, and our Minority Report future. Lot of this stuff is "not for me", but maybe you'll like it?? Hell I don't know. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig...

Episode 136: Something Normal Dumbass 11.02.2020

This week on YKS...we need more emails! An update on the O'Cock Watch! And more! Here are some of the suggestions our Discord gave for the title of the (as yet unheard) episode when I asked: No Signal Mountain 2, Pee Pee Poo Poo, Another One, Breakfast Soup 2, etc. Glad I went with this one. Much better. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brend...

Episode 135: Gimme a Baby Wipe 04.02.2020

Here's a family fun idea: listening to YKS! This week on the show we got some cat stuff, some phone stuff, some Trump stuff, and some sports stuff. Remember the Hulk Hogan sex tape? Remember the Masked Singer? Remember VTech? Remember breathing trash gas? We kind of do, for some of it, and for evidence look no further than this episode of the program. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Bab...

Episode 134: 100% Unhackable 28.01.2020

On today's YKS, we got some bad Kickstarters gang. Sound familiar? Plus, JF learns a weightlifting lesson and finds a new favorite Kickstarter. And Mike is there as well (didn't write down any notes on what he said but you know it's good. That's Mike baby! What about Baby Mike, like Baby Yoda? That could be something cool. A little Mike in a floating orb. I've only seen the first episode of the sh...

Episode 133: Minimalism 2 21.01.2020

Dog poop...man's most hated enemy. Will we ever vanquish this eternal foe? Or will we be overwhelmed and consumed by its hot stink? Plus, unnecessary laundry hacks, multiple water bottle solutions, and the return of an old friend. It's yet another YKS, right now, on your phone while you're trying to go to sleep! Goodnight! Music for YKS is courtesy of our friends Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and M...

Episode 132: Mister P 14.01.2020

YouTube finally corners JF...Mike mourns the innocence of his favorite show, Investigate Discovery...talking to your cyber security service (hey, they called me!), the anti-porno phone and more. Seems like a lot for one show, but somehow we get it all in and have about 90 more minutes to say "how's it going" and "what's up". Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendl...
