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 417: The Hooter and the Holler

Jul 28th, 2025 5:00 AM

Gimme the clicker! I wanna watch YourHometv.com! Ah crap. All they’re playing is this stupid podcast. It looks like it’s hosted by 2 total morons. Heh. They’re ugly as well. And they seem depressed but not in an interesting way? Shit hold on they’re gonna discuss Kickstarter…that feels fresh. Let’s see what they got. Well it’s 45 mins in and they haven’t said anything about the Kickstarters. They’re mostly talking about doctors appointments and TV remotes. Well I checked the guide and apparently they’re gonna eventually get to bible memes, 1000 bad jokes, and a real sicko’s attempt to grift a luxury car. Evidently there’s an actual good idea at the end. But I’m not waiting over 2 hours just to hear that. I gotta go play with my bath toys.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 416: The Fry Itself

Jul 21st, 2025 5:00 AM

I just want to say before anyone listens to this episode…I LOVE true crime! Podcasts, Dateline, asking Chappy Tea to embellish the grisly details of case files I looked up with a hacked PACER account…I can’t get enough. So when I imply in this episode that I think the cottage industry exploiting the victims of physical violence for t-shirt sales is horrifically sad and beneath contempt, I was talking about something else. Or I got confused or I was taken over by a brain thing or something. I got all messed up for a sec. It’s cool though. Anyway what else?Oh yeah. Farts are funny and I’m a ninja pimp.

Episode 415: Fake Mickey Mouse Watch

Jul 14th, 2025 5:00 AM

I hate my RV. Why did I decide to buy it? Why am I living in a big car? Aren’t I supposed to be enjoying my life at this age? I worked hard, dammit! And that slick salesboy at the dealership talked me into buying this big hulking bus. I look like I’ve got Aerosmith in here, but it’s just me, my wife, 6 of the most disgusting and worst behaved dogs this side of a Stephen King movie, a steel trash can full of Labubus, and a satellite dish. I wish I were dead! The only animating force in this life is the haunting spectre of dirt collecting in the entryway. Each day it calls me, and I answer! Toiling in its wake like Sisyphus! What benevolence will release me from this Hell?! Hopefully there’s like a small piece of plastic or something. Or, at the very least, a wetworks mercenary figurine I can put on the dashboard.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 414: I’m a Karen And I Believe in You

Jul 7th, 2025 5:00 AM

On this episode of YKS, we’ve got more Kickstarters than you can shake a stick at. That is, until they Kickstart a really big stick! Oh golly…don’t give ‘em any ideas. Actually, do. That would help them and help me. What other ideas do you got? Do you have any ideas about how certain pleasant strokables might be improved? Or perhaps some thoughts on making sports betting more crypto-friendly? What about a sitcom that’s, uh, well, I don’t know. Maybe don’t do the sitcom one. Tell you what, listen to this episode of the show, THEN come up with ideas. THEN I can have the ideas. And THEN they make a crazy movie about my life starring Zac Efron. And you, my friend, my inspiration, you can see the movie. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.
