Your Kickstarter Sucks

Jesse Farrar & Mike Haleart19.com

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 78: Rag Duty

This episode is so good, it's hard to even put it into words. And I know a lot of words, from having seen them other places + memorized them to use later on, so I'm not just some dumb guy what got hold of a computer. On this record-breaking 78th episode of YKS, the boys are explaining, in great detail, the two types of electricity, the functional dignity of lizard diapers, and the necessity of worshiping Jimmy Kimmel. So slap those cans on and get to laughin'!For more half-angry diatribes on beh...

Episode 63: All That And A Bag Of Chips

What What Happens Live is delightful! Inspired by Andy Cohen's experiences in the green room as a producer at CBS, and with a set inspired by his own home den, this show is unlike any other late night talk show. WWHL is fun, spontaneous, and engaging. The eclectic pairings ensure that you see guests in a brand new light. For example, one episode pairs John Mayer with Dan Rather. You would expect these guys to be like oil and water, but the show was the most endearing appearance I've seen from ei...

Then just do a list, like say: nudie suits, save a horse ride a cowboy, and sex accessories. But say "the guys talk about, etc." before every one so it doesn't look like a grocery list. After that you can say that we do the song of the summer competition, but play it up like it's really fun and they'll get that it's a bit. And say we do a ...
