Your Kickstarter Sucks

I think it would be fun to be a little Italian guy who could hop around and stuff and he throws, um, baskets, I guess. And he’s fighting, um, a kind of big…Chimp…Yeah. And oh yeah…the best part? The chimp is named something you wouldn’t quite expect. Ha! I will also be making the game 400 years too late and Crappy as well. Thoughts? Well, I hope they’re good. And I hope YOU’RE good. And I hope thi...

That awkward moment when you want to play some poker with the guys but the poker chips aren’t shitty little plastic penguin things…Thanks GOD those days are over! With that and more projects from this crazy little episode of our wacky little show, I think the future is looking very, VERY bright. Bright, indeed! And I’m not talking about the new movie that could potentially be someone’s “Star Wars”...

Well here we are in 2025 and of course the number one problem everyone is having right now is that cereal gets too wet or warm or something like that. Yep it’s pretty much driving everyone mad and a lot of scientists have “jumped out of windows” about it, but it seems like this problem won’t be fixed anytime soon. And that really stinks because if that problem got fixed there would be some good st...

Hey where’s that damn dog of mine? He better not be…oh no…oh NO!!! Well, anyway. Update on our various locations: the YKS boys are off to CES, and you all are here at home, listening to the show. Or you’re at your work, I guess. Whatever THAT is. Presumably some kind of sexy doctor like they have on TV. So we had better make this a good one to get you through that long slog of sexy surgery. Ah man...

Well it’s almost time to gather round Ol’ Tannenbaum and sip some classic nog! But first, if you’ll indulge, let us celebrate a different kind of gift-giving: that of content creators to their adoring audiences! And what a merry gift it is.  On today’s show, you know what, I just realized we could have done all Christmas-related projects for this one. Well, we didn’t. There’s probably not eve...

Now this is interesting. It says here…it looks like it says right here…that it’s almost getting close to that famous time of year known as Christmastime! Ohhh!! Heavens to murgatroyd! Just what will we be doing in 9 days time! Well I know I’ll be wiping the sleep from my eyes, bounding down the staircase, and getting MAD at my KIDS for not getting me any good TOYS! That is, unless…unless a Christm...

Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Permission to roll around at them for a second and get kicked really hard and fall apart while playing crysound.mp3 under a Jeep Grand Cherokee! ← This could be but a glimpse into our amazing future…if the geniuses over at Kickstarter are to be believed, that is. And, well, they’re geniuses. So I do believe them. I give them everything. They are my world.  On t...

Wow! You know, this is a pretty darn good time to be thinking about some new products to consider purchasing and buying and stuff like that. I hope that some companies or those fine folks who are companies but just people – entrepreneurs – come up with some good new ideas for me to consume! Perhaps I should check the circulars (ads that cavemen looked forward to). Looks like we got socks that stay...

Friendships are tested and new alliances are formed when an unexpected riff threatens to derail the pod.. Music for YKS courtesy of Howell Dawdy , Craig Dickman , mr baloney, and Mark Brendle . Ho Ho Ho Patreon gift subs  are now available! The Squeeze Louise tier is the perfect gift for grandma and pop pop! Stuff your stocking with over 200 video episodes in jaw-dropping 1080p!

Hi everybody! I have an idea for a crab trap that makes it really hard for crabs to go into the trap, very easy for them to get out, and also it takes up a lot of space on your boat. Basically, it sucks. Hmmm…I think this will be the predominant tool of the industry for, oh, I’ll say, forever. WRONG SHITHEAD! YOU DIDN’T INNOVATE AND NOW YOU’RE DEAD! DEAD LIKE A CRAB! Also on today’s show we’ve got...

I need to simplify my life. I think probably the best way to do that is to start gluing stuff in my house to each other. That way when I want my spoon, hey, my matches are right there. And my hand towels? Well they won’t go missing again, glued such as they are to my desktop keyboard. Don’t ask me why I need them in the same spot. It’s really only something you can understand when your life is as...

Political division! It’s arguably the biggest problem facing society today, or a fake thing that does not exist at all except in the mind of feckless dorks and opportunistic grifters. Who’s to say! Probably us, I would think. Yeah. I think it’s us guys who get to say what everything is. Also some stuff that “is” this week: a type of coffee that doesn’t make you go to the bathroom, an AI that helps...

What a special episode! We finally got to it! The most cynical Kickstarter we have ever seen! It’s so special to actually get here and know that from here on out, every other unbuildable infrastructure project or card game rip-off or IP cash-in or political pandering or navel-gazing independent film or useless electronic doodad will be at the very least more of a genuine attempt at creating someth...

HEY! Wake up! I’m guessing you were probably asleep when this episode came out. I mean, we’re asleep for a third of our lives, so we got a decent shot. And I love a damn underdog. Well now that you’re awake, would you like to go to the bathroom and squeeze out like a millimeter of pee? Don’t forget to keep your eyes kind of halfway closed so you don’t get all the way waked up. That always works. A...

Eeeeeeeevveeerryyybboooody do the new show dance! Oh yeah! Let’s do it! I see you! Wow, guys, I knew you were super talented and always up for a crazy time, but I had no idea fans of YKS were such groovy groovers! You were really movin that thing! Well let’s put that energy to good use, shall we? By sitting still and quiet for like 2 hours while some other guys talk about the computer. Starting ri...

By day I’m a simple bartender…but by night…ahh!!! I really let my hair down and I become…The Beverage Entrepreneur! No you haven’t stumbled your way into one of the middling lunchpail Comedy Bang Bang episodes that didn’t even make it into the annual Top 10, you’re actually listening to one of the funniest episodes of YKS ever!  On today’s very show, we have a nice Adult Toy that can Help, a...

Go home, YKS…you’re drunk! Oh wait no you aren’t. You’re just making another good ass funny ass episode of the show we all love to listen to. And after all, the show is quite beloved by many all around the world…so why wouldn’t we make more episodes of it? Well maybe we will get bored or hit by a bus or something. But not this week! We did one. And on it, we had some good ass shit such as the foll...

I’m out of town so I’m gonna make this one quick, alright? Girl Scout Cookies are cookies sold by Girl Scouts in the United States to raise funds to support Girl Scout councils and individual troops. The cookies are widely popular and are commonly sold by going door-to-door, online, through school or town fundraisers, or at "cookie booths" set up at storefronts.[1] The program is intended to both...

Where Faith Meets Fun! Where Faith Meets Fun! Where Faith Meets Fun! Right here, on YKS! On today’s show we got dog vitamins, something that improves voicemail somehow (other than making your outgoing message a recording of you in the bathroom with your buddy), and the one and only, the man without whom none of this would be possible, the great Jan-Ove Waldner!  Music for YKS is courtesy of H...

Sometimes you’ll look at the title of an episode and think to yourself, “Oh yeah, I remember why the title of the episode was gonna be this. Because we did a good riff on what The Duckcaller’s Lament would be. And then you got some times where you have to write “Pumpkin Master’s Sake Bones” down in the title box, and you wish you could crawl into a hole and die. There are a lot more of those weeks...

Weee-hoo!! Yowee!! We got a Class 5 YKS comin in hot so we’re gonna wanna get all the way around it and drop our headphones right in its path! Yeah the first one kind of already did all this but this one has a bunch of 20 year olds in it so…yeeehawww!!! Well I’d keep joking about that crap but I haven’t finished watching it yet. Stick around for part 2 of the Twisters 2 Riff in the next episode de...

MORTUY: Oh geez Rick, I don’t know about this one Rick. It looks like we accidentally portaled to a planet where there’s a ruling race of sentient Kickstarter projects! Oh man, oh geez Rick. I just want to go home and pull my pud man. I don’t want to do all this space flying stuff anymore man. Look at that one…it’s like a stupid pirate card game and it’s coming at me! Ahh!! And look over there, it...

You’re not gonna believe this one! Oh yeah! What! That’s right! It’s more of that CRAZY Thing you love! Oh yeah! YKS! Wahoo!!!! On today’s Wet and Wild show, we’ve got a graphic novel (comic book), one gross freako’s stupid movie idea warehouse, an app for DUI guys, and more! Wow, that sounds really Wet and Wild. Oh yes it definitely does. So we better get to it! Oh yeah!  Music for YKS is co...

Time’s a funny thing…here I am waiting to eat some dinner. But hours from now, perhaps even years, you might find yourself sitting down to listen to this episode and awaiting a different meal of your own. Breakfast, perhaps; or even lunch. And yet both of us, wherever we are – WHENever we are – know that we likey to eat some yummy food. Heh. Sometimes this big blue marble we call home just makes m...

Goo goo! Ga ga! And all the rest. We’re back from our little break with a bundle of joy: that’s right, a new episode of YKS! To celebrate, we’re taking a tour through some of Kickstarter’s most baby-brained ideas. Join us as we discover the baby chain, the cheeky changer, and oh yes, the bottle buggy, plus a few other ways to harm or at least not do much to help the most precious and vulnerable cr...
