Your Kickstarter Sucks

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...

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...

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...

(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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

P.U. ain’t just a university anymore, folks! It’s the premiere destination online for stinky celeb rankings, and honestly now that I’m typing it out I’m pretty mad I didn’t just make the site and paywall it instead of making a joke about it. I wanna make some money off stink freaks! Well, whoever does it just put me in the credits of the site, but like, make it clear I’m not into it. I just helped...

It’s 2026…are we really still doing podcast episode descriptions? I mean, come on! It should be AI! Or it should be some guy on the other side of the world that we’re just saying is AI. It should be at least that. UGH! Fine. I will write it. But it WON’T be good. On this episode of YKS there’s a dog…uh, thing. Honestly this was recorded last month I don’t remember what these were, save for one. I...

It’s almost New Year’s, and we’re unlocking a New Fear – that of a New Episode of YKS NOT being re-released. But we’re also unlocking something else simultaneously, which makes this little linguistic flair quite apropos after all! That’s right, it’s UNLOCKED EPISODE time! And for this week, we revisit one of the year’s best with one of the world’s best – Bob’s Burgers with Paul F. Tompkins. This t...

Well it’s 3 days before Xmas and the boys are taking a little bit of a break. So here’s a recent classic YKS Premium – now with 23 minutes of B-B-B-Bonus Content – unlocked and with video , if you haven’t seen that shit before.  But something you SHOULD have seen before is 1985’s Demons, some very wonky Italian horror that basically don’t play by the rules. And neither does our guest! Returni...

Brew Joy to the world, the ep has come! Let Earth go rent some bees! It’s nearly that special season so I thought it would be fun to take a couple of the projects from this week’s episode and put them into a familiar tune. Can you guess the song, projects, or season I’m talking about? Great! Write us a letter using letters you cut out from a magazine and you just might be eligible for winning an a...

Are you ready for a risqué musical parody of a podcast episode? Well bud, you’re in the wrong RSS feed. There’s hardly anything risqué about this episode of “The Poopy Wiener Show”, and barely any songs or jokes. It’s mostly just 3 guys talking through their feelings as they navigate the crazy, mixed-up world we live in today. Just kidding. It’s about steampunk cocoa and using the computer to brea...

It would be funny if we had a guy called Meatball on the show. Hey Meatball…what are you doin? Meatball, how was your weekend? Meatball, what the HELL do you think about that? Oh Meatball. But, we don’t have that. And that is why the show sucks. Speaking of which, on today’s show, we have two projects about hooters but kind of from the opposite end of the spectrum, and some dumb crap you’d get som...

Why in the hell is this one called Communist Smurves? I don’t really remember but you gotta admit, that is a lot of freakin fun to think about haha. Don’t ask me to explain any of it, either, mmkay? Let’s just kick back, relax, and let some Belgian guy do the damn thing with some crazy cartoons! Speaking of crazy cartoons, on this week’s episode we’ve got some new towel tech, a cup of yogurt, and...

What do you get when you cross a couple of crazy guys, one crazy website, and the crazy news in the world today? Well, let’s just say this…it makes for one crazy show. And YOU get to listen to it. Right here, right now. The only problem? At some point it will be over. But then? There’s always more YKS…not to mention YKS Premium! It’s an embarrassment of riches, and NOT just a regular embarrassment...

Last night I was trying to think of something to get mad about and I came up with “sometimes if you have a car that has a push button ignition it’s sort of hard to tell if it’s all the way on or just in accessory mode.” I know there’s a lot of bad stuff happening in the world, but I’m kind of embarrassed that I couldn’t come up with a slight inconvenience or weird interaction to ruminate on so int...

The only sponge you don’t have to fold! Cute pets always can't help us make hugging them. It all starts with a shift. And all the rest. They’re our friends, these little sayings. So we will ask to smell their balls on the set of our TV show and, I guess, still keep making the TV show. Oh well!  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional...

Engaging Episode Description Protocol C.R.A.Z.Y – Comedy wRiting And Zany…Yep! 10-4. Protocol fully engaged. Deploying tactical laugh gas and precision funny bone homing missiles. Target is median age 45 information technology administrator with generalized anxiety disorder and compulsion to eat spicy chips. Reports indicate this episode could be the one that turns it around for them. So let’s mak...
