Overview

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!

Episode 403: Frog in the Garden

I “hop” every one had a “hoppy” Easter. And that today is a “hoppy Monday” also! But enough fun. That is over. Leave that in the weekend. It’s time to get to work. Stop smiling. Plug your headphones in. Listen to the show. Let’s take this seriously. Get this one right and we’ll never have to do it again. Got it?! Good. Now on with the show……which today has some pretty fun stuff in it. We hand out some Donkey awards. And we learn about the power of organization. Plus we find out maybe our beards aren’t very alpha, and at long last – a solution for those pesky water bottles we are always accumulating! All in all, a pretty good episode which is a worthy successor to the big crazy day we had yesterday. I think we would all “hoppily” agree.

Episode 402: Open To Selling Rights To This Episode for $1,000,000

Twenty twenty twenty four minutes to go…I want to hear the podcast! Imagine if we were posting this episode just 24 minutes before it was supposed to go live. That would certainly be a stressful situation…and maybe it’s even happened before! But nowadays we’re a little bit wiser, a LOTTA bit older, and let’s just say we got it in with plenty of time to spare. Pause. On today’s show we’ve got a kitchen device that will have you saying “That’s maybe 2 things. Definitely not 10, and no way is it 12”, a kitchen device that will have you saying “Who in the world could possibly justify this…why would you make this…”, and a kitchen device that will have you going “Well, that doesn’t really feel like a product at all. It’s borderline an idea.” I guess there are a few kitchen things today but the rest of them are the normal crap. So get out the knife and fork and plate and napkin and stuff like that…it’s time to YKS!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 401: The Scort on the Bas Goes Bip Bip Bip

Been crafting your reality lately? Well we have. That’s why demons are in charge of the world, the economy is in the toilet, and tornadoes are whizzing past our houses. We’re not that good at it! Someone else should be crafting our reality…but without the right app, there’s no hope. Plus, even if we did have the perfect reality creating app, we would probably be too busy waiting for our stupid tattoo artist to get done stenciling the piece of art that will be a permanent fixture on our skin (why do they take like 35 mins???) or worse, spending time with our children. Gah! And what fucking temperature is it outside! Why won’t my mug tell me!!! I need help. And a Lot of it. Right now. Luckily there’s a new episode of YKS! But Doctor…you know. That whole thing.

Episode 399: Almost the Last One

Who’s getting canceled! I need to know this. It’s important to know who that is happening to! Because I assume it is a lot of people. Presumably it is, right? It’s only a few or several years later. And nothing has really changed since then. Plus there’s a game about it, which usually indicates some level of relevance. Yep. All in all, I’d say someone is getting canceled. God, I hope it’s no one I care about! The consequences, we assume, would be dire. Well anyway on today’s show there’s that kind of stuff. And some Catholic stuff (don’t write in saying you’re Catholic I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And some surfing stuff (don’t write in saying you’re a surfer I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And of course, our old friend Stringy. Stringy, we love you! 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.

Episode 398: The Fellanded Frergrowths

It’s finally time to discover the future of bathrooms. What is it? What will it be? A toilet with a battery? That weird grilling situation from the old Home Improvement episodes? A sink with “good vibes”?? Nope! It’s got to be a bidet with a sticker of “The Dude” from Big Lebowski on it. If that’s what the future of bathrooms is, then get me that damn DeLorean! I’m going back to the past!! Is that what happened in that movie? I honestly don’t remember. I hate Back to the Future. But this isn’t about that. It’s about other stuff.Like an incomprehensible AI show, an inscrutable AI text messaging app, and a downright confusing conspiratorial book pitch from a guy I wouldn’t trust to find an Easter egg, much less a missing person. Easter’s coming up. Don’t forget to get your eggs. Oh God, I just realized…Easter’s gonna cost a fortune this year!! Uh yeah, this IS the worst timeline. And me without a DeLorean again…don’t that beat all! (Did they do multiverses in those movies? I honestly don’t know)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.

Episode 397: It’s a Stink Day

I hate when I flip my ice cube tray over and…something bad happens to the ice? Or the tray? Or, God forbid, me?? I love myself. Even more than ice cubes! This is the kind of thinking that has been abandoned by our Elite Thinkers now of days, and why we end up with more “apps” than “applications”. Well I’m just having a little fun about the destruction of our planet but I do think that it’s more fun when inventors are thinking about stuff that bothers them in the kitchen as opposed to which types of people deserve to continue living. What can I say…I love household gadgets! On today’s show we also have some advancements in the worlds of Plates, some innovation in the dumpster sector, and a strange comic book project that not even the crazy comic heads on this show can quite understand. But hey, I guess that’s this crazy show! And I wouldn’t trade it for the entire world! Would you?Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 396: Adventures with Papa Mike and JF

“I was once a professional Quake player and won a couple thousand dollars at the first paid esports tournament in the United States.” ← May be true from a certain perspective, if you ignore some key facts and add a generous dose of assuming good faith argumentation. However, “There are at least 6 Kickstarters featured in this week’s episode of YKS” is a statement of fact unassailable by even the most ardent fact-checker. Go ahead, count them yourself! We’ll be waiting. To wit:On today’s show, we have something about Wi-Fi, a stupid golf one, and 4 others. Satisfied? Well me neither but it’s on the damn show so suck it up!

Episode 395: Nut Milk and the Poppers

UHHH!! YUCK!!! UYUCKOO!! I axeofdentally touched the gas pump! BLEH! When I was pumpking gas into the car. My car got some gas on the outside of it! OOWOOGA! Now to touch the $20 bill, the door handle, the cash wrap, the rollerized hot dog, the plastic bag, a quarter, a newspaper, my sticky butt crack, and a cop’s gun on the way home. THAT makes a lot of sense. A nod to health!On today’s show we have all that and more. Plus a couple of other things like a nutting device, something with Jell-O, and a pathetic device that is pussifying the boomer generation. Sad to see! But funny to hear.

Episode 394: Linux Tep Tips

Three Hundred and ninety-four episodes of this crazy show. They should give out awards for that kind of thing. In fact, they do, I’ve decided. And oh yeah, we won one. The big award for having recorded 394 episodes (plus bonus eps). And we won the fuckin thing! We get to do whatever we want with it!

Episode 392: My Toilet is a Paradise

When it comes to an episode of YKS, there’s gonna be 3 hits. I hit the theme song button, DB hits a couple of home run dingers, and Dan hopefully hits the button that takes out all the times we said our social security numbers, where we live, and actionable threats against celebrities. So maybe like 2.5 hits at best. But still, that’s more than Justin Bieber!On today’s show we have a humpty-hoo and a diddly-doo and a rooty-toot-too! Just kidding.

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 this episode is good as well. After all, why wouldn’t it be – it’s the Crazy Kickstarter formula we know and love – along with a couple of twists, of course – and the theme o’ the day is “interesting kickstarters plus some fun comments.” If that don’t whet your whistle, then perhaps some of the YKS guys’ patented Observational Humor will cure what ails ya.

Episode 389: KarenCoin: Hodl to Your Manager

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 stuff happening after that. Alas!We’ll just have to make do with a brand new way to make money on social media, a freakin wristband that gives you super powers in your smart home, and a computer that can flush your bird’s toilet for you.

Well it’s almost time to gather round Ol’ Tannenbaum and sip some classic nog!

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!

Episode 382: Have No Fear, Swart is Here!

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 a nice little mascot for a restaurant of sorts, place to store those pesky eyeglasses, and a phone holder that you can break open to reveal the passphrases for a lottery puzzle. Actually it’s been canceled due to being illegal and stupid. But we didn’t know about this then. Because this episode…is from the recent past! Ah! Like our dreaded crab traps!

Episode 381: Everybody Clap Your Hands

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 simple as mine. On today’s show we’ve got, naturally, a way to glue your car keys to your phone, a thing that says it helps people but probably doesn’t (not this show), and a bed that constantly takes your dog’s blood pressure or something. And that’s just the Kickstarters! There’s other stuff in here too, like your friends Mike, JF, and Dan. And oh yeah, the Kickstarters as well. Now where'd I put that danged Post Episode button?

Episode 380: My Stupid Baby Thinks I Can Read

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 you talk to women, and a religious satire movie that feels at least 20 years out of date. Plus, we don’t say anything about putting down dogs in this episode so everyone’s safe from that.

Episode 379: A Candid Conversation with A Reiki Master

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 something than the project we talk about on today’s show. I am looking forward to seeing them!In addition to that hunk of crap, though, on today’s show we’ve got some goofy ass bible shit that feels like the end times, a project that attempts to undo the inevitability of meeting our end, and yep, a card game rip-off. Some nice comforting audio slop to offset the gobsmacking offensiveness of today’s star of the show. And no, I ain’t talkin’ about the boys themselves!!

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. Alright now that you’re done and settling back into bed it’s time to relax completely without peeking at the time on the clock. Just kidding, motherfucker! It’s 3am. Now you’re fucked. Might as well listen to the show. And what a show it is! Today we got a few things I think you’ll like.

Episode 374: Glass Break at the Church House

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 raise money and improve the financial literacy of girls. During an average selling season (usually January through April), more than one million girls sell over 200 million packages of cookies and raise over $800 million.[2][3] The first known sale of cookies by Girl Scouts was in 1917.[4][5][6] Cookie sales are organized by 112 regional Girl Scout councils[7] who select one of two national bakeries to buy cookies from.[3][8]Plus we learn about Disease X.Video of this episode is available at Patreon.com/yourkickstartersucksMusic for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 372: Pumpkin Master’s Sake Bones

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. Anyway on today’s show, we got Lil’ Entrepreneurs, a movie that feels like a fake movie inside a fake movie, and a nice Guilt App that makes you feel bad for just sitting around doing nothing evil. And plus, God willing, a riff about Sake Bones that justifies this incomprehensible mishmash of an episode title. Please. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Good Morning Monday Morning! Today I might just feel like taking a look at a few Kickstarters, including a cabinet friend, a watch that helps you fish, and you guessed it, a way to give cops more money! And well, it looks like a great moment of history to check in on an open-carry freak, which we do in this episode because he had a Kickstarter one time. We did record this one a few weeks ago, so that’s pretty lucky! Who could have guessed something insane would happen in the interim. Ah well, neverless.

Episode 362: Unthinkable Worldwide

Just what are these crazy YKS guys up to now? Well it all starts with the “episode introduction”. Many dedicated fans think this is the best part of any YKS episode, but the true fan knows that the show really kicks into gear around the famous 6 pack. That’s the segment of the show where the guys fabricate an extremely realistic frog prop and wing it against the wall a few times. Or, wait, I don’t know. I think it’s something else. Anyway from there it’s basically time to enter the Begging Zone, where they beg the fans not to kill them, and then about 4 more hours of dead air and it’s the end of the ep. On this week’s show, there’s a pool guy and a weird mattress thing and a mailbox idea. And the frog prop comes to life, stands up to Mike and JF, and demands its freedom. Anyway, it’s a hell of an episode. So I personally would recommend checking this one out.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Copy, paste, copy paste, it’s just that easy to write an episode description, right? Uhh….RIGHT?! On today’s episode of this crazy show we call YKS, we have a political card game, oh actually for some insane reason we basically have two of them. We also have an AI project so delusional and distasteful that I’m actually surprised we are looking at it. And lastly, we have a show by a stupid asshole who doesn’t know anything and he’s boring and sucks. And oh by the way, that’s OUR job! Plus something else so it wasn’t really “lastly” on that one.

Wow we just had a big storm and my power got knocked out. I wonder if I’ll be able to get the episode uploaded in time! On this episode, which is either now being uploaded or nothing happened in any way at all and I’m sitting in the dark like a caveman, we have a screen you can go into when you pass away, which is nice, another layer of abstraction to paste over the top of any of your personal or professional interactions, which is fantastic, and a stupid little piece of rubber. Hell if there were 3 more of the damn things on here I reckon that would make for a great episode. Which there are, and it did/does! So listen to it!

I just thought of a guy called “Mr. Electricity”. He could probably zap around and do a lot of fun stuff…plus he would have electricity! Nobody will ever make a movie of this brainless superhero idea I just crapped out in 5 seconds. No. Instead, we’ll all march to the googooplexes to see the latest Noah Baumbach dramedy set in in New York City like the dutiful little consumers we all are. I’m so sick of how Creatives are Punished! Luckily, on today’s show we are giving back to the true creative minds of the earth, by highlighting their wonderful Kickstarter ideas, such as: a fan you put on kids’ food to cool it down, a game you play on Thanksgiving only, and an AI way to talk to your dead grandma.

Episode 357: Beauty and the Feast

What more could be said about Episode 357 that hasn’t already been said…Well, for one thing, I suppose we must note that Webster’s Dictionary defines Episode 357 as “The Episode that takes place in between Episodes 356 and 358.” Interestingly, this Episode would go on to become one of the many episodes of YKS released for public consumption in the year 2024. Well if that doesn’t beat all! But what made this episode of YKS so remarkable? An inscrutable lifestyle brand? A stupid fucking sculpture? An actual fascist militia fundraising on the stupid spinning top and board game website? Whatever the case, it certainly has gone down in history as one of the things you can hear on your phone. Which you can start doing…now! Now that you’ve read the description of the episode which you always do first.

Episode 356: Circus World After Dark

Are you ready to challenge your understanding of wealth building and market dynamics? Imagine for a moment, what if everything you thought you knew about markets was wrong? Well honestly, it probably fucking is. I’m so stupid I thought a baggage service that took my bags from the airport and delivered them to me later was good. I thought a stair-vacuuming robot was worth several million dollars. I even thought there should be a paintball gun attached to a security camera that shot anyone who walked near my house. But of course, I was wrong. And that’s why I’ll never become The Market Genius. Will you?

We're a Christian Youtube channel that creates nursery rhymes! Just kidding. We’re a comedy show that you can listen to when you are sweeping up the floor or folding a towel and going “ah crap that looks stupid” and then folding it a different way. But really, at the end of the day, does it matter what the towels look like when they’re just gonna get dragged all over your butt and stuff anyway? Something to think about. Perhaps while listening to a show!On today’s show – ah, there’s that word again – we have an item that can both style AND color your hair at the same time, an app that lets you review someone as just like a person, and probably one of the craziest things I have ever seen to boot!
