Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale

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!

I just found out I have a power bank that’s been recalled. That’s pretty annoying. Now I gotta fill out some forms, dispose of it properly, and wait around for a reimbursement. Plus, I guess, hope it doesn’t explode. That would suck! But you know what else has been recalled? The Kickstarters from this week’s episode, by me, when I reread what we were doing when we recorded this episode! I guess that doesn’t really add much “zing” for you guys, to know that I was looking at this and kind of nodding a

Another Crazy Monday…Another Crazy YKS. This is one crazy show, and what does that make the listeners of it? Ha. Well, you guessed it and said it. Not me! But hey. Enough craziness…or is it? Not for this crazy guy! Nothing is ever enough! Except when it comes to have six Kickstarter projects to talk about on one episode, in which crazy case I find to be the exact correct amount. Curious, that! That being said, what would they even be…?Some Japanese treats for your dog, a card game about pimping,

I had to pause Family Guy to write this episode description, so it had better be good. On today’s show, we find out you can make pet treats at home with just a blender, steamer, fryer, dehydrator, and quality ingredients you can actually pronounce. We also invented a way to wipe our heads off with a towel. And of course, we also learned about self pleasure. Coincidentally, that’s what the Family Guy episode is about. It’s a Lois episode, so it’s not that good, but what else am I gonna do? Write the

If only there were some other way! And if it were a product! That I could maybe buy? Too bad we live in HELL and that’s not real. On today’s show we have a culinary trend from 15 years ago…today! Plus a moron’s 3-steps-removed gambling business, your run of the mill AI Slopfest, and more. Let’s get Christy with it! Oh yeah!

It’s not JUST a fun restaurant concept, it’s ALSO a good way to get foodborne illness. Wow! What else could you want? Other than seafood stored at proper temperatures, handwashing protocols observed, and “all the rest”! But still! It’s fun how it goes around on the little train. Or belt or whatever it is. For moron this, check out YKS Premium S33E07. And now, for this other stuff here.That’s right, it looks like we got ourselves a full-fledged episode of YKS with all the trimmings! A crazy guy’s

Episode 406: Stupid Cookie Loser

You’d have to be a pretty big idiot, not to mention evil and desperate and talentless, to scan an image of Donald Trump onto a cookie and try to sell it on Kickstarter, to say it’s not political somehow, and then to get a fraction of your meager goal. But oh well. At least you (?????). Sorry that one is really stuck in my craw…like some bush league cookies. I need to take some small kitty cat breaths to calm down. Or perhaps I will put a vibrator on my chest. Ahhh yes. Now, someone bring me my

2025/05/05

In terms of our feelings about the industry and its various captains I guess you could say YKS is something of a tech-cynical show. We like our little gadgets enough to not be outright antagonistic, but take a dim view of what counts for progress in the minds of the Silicon Valley elite. In particular, when it comes to the marketing phenomenon known as AI, it’s difficult to imagine what could even possibly qualify as a compelling use case for the technology as we understand it today – and there is

Episode 404: Funny Not Found

2025/04/28

Well, you’d have to be something of a computer fan to understand today’s episode title…and no, I’m not talking about Be Quiet!, Lian Li, Noctua, or Cooler Master! But if you’ll shut up for a second, you’ll see I’m clearly joking, and there’s plenty of comedy to be found in today’s episode. Why, how could it NOT be funny to talk about a parrot babysitting your sundowning parents or a fascist sympathizer making a corny board game? Obviously we had no choice but to “overclock” the funny meter and

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

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”,

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

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

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

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

“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!

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.
