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 145: The Bug That Got Away

Headed on down to South Park gonna have myself a time....oh damn! It's the South Park Guys. Carman and everyone. They are here and they are ready to equal opportunity offend. But First! Nearly 90 minutes of two sad guys in their houses going "Uhh". On today's show we've got stupid snack innovations, more coffee trash from the coffee trash heap, some virus cash-ins, and a few things Mike pretends to actually like for some reason. So, again, get through all that and we will have you back with Kenn...

Episode 144: Goblin Behavior

Hello everyone, it's Mike and JF here and it's time to transition from the introduction part of the show notes to the early midpoint of the show notes. Wow we're already here. This is awesome. On today's show we're talking about the same stuff as usual, but with some very slight differences. We've got stupid shit for kids, condescending board games, cynical cash-ins, insane ramblings (and not just from the hosts!), political points of view exposing much of the population as foolish babies, and s...

Episode 143: Mike's Way

Ohhhhhh!!! Another one! This week on YKS, Mike and JF are talking sex tapes, dick pics, wasting your life, and some actually maybe kind of okay (?) Kickstarters? Maybe that was a mistake. But we have to go do some other shit now so this is the ep, and we are Boss Bitches so deal with it!! Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 142: Goovis Young

Oh no they did another YKS! It's a remote episode of course, which is fine. On this week's show we're trying out new intros, NOT going to the store, and doing hammer violence. It actually is remarkably similar to a normal episode of the show, which is either good or bad depending on if you like the show normally or not. Either way, you can't deny that it's here now. And it's better than going outside and licking stuff. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawd...

Unlocked! YKS Premium S5E5: In the Passenger's Seat with Chris James

The YKS remote recording setup is not yet ready to go (we hired the Joe Biden guys), so for today we'll be releasing a classic YKS Premium episode from the archives. Originally released 2/8/19, this episode with the one and only Chris James touches on the NBA trade deadline (remember when we had sports?) and contains the first review of my rec league hoops performance. Look for Part 2 of that conversation to be released later this week, and as always if you need more YKS on your Pono Player, you...

Episode 141: Dead Butt Syndrome

Well here's a weird one for ya: with Mike Out Of Office, we're forced to go to Plan B: ask the 2 other guys in JF's house to do the show. Luckily, past Jesseuary guest Greg Pollock (@weedguy420boner) and early Go Off Kings Producer Paul (@tinybaby) answer the call to talk about tired asses, the science of funniness, and streaming services for men. Which we need right now more than ever! Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional r...

Episode 140: Mask On

Folks we're out of the frying pan and into the fire at YKS HQ, as we (barely) survive a big ass tornado and now must escape a global pandemic while shacking up in the same quarters. So we're prepping ourselves with the best disease prevention campaigns Kickstarter has to offer, from a fake mask thing to another fake mask thing and more. Grab a tissue and check it out.

Episode 139: Red Carpet Guys

Well it's kind of busy over here today so I'm gonna do a short one of these. Today on YKS we got an update on becoming Real Hollywood Celebrities, and we got 6 Kickstarters to talk about, and we have a story about going to the store. So I hope you enjoy that and we will talk to you next week. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 138: Banana Money

Did like 20 minutes on bananas for this one. Running out of shit to say? No, we are simply scratching the surface of our agricultural and horticultural information base. So, not only all that good stuff, but also: a candle that lights itself (?), a leap forward in toilet cleaning technology, and a very timely movie-based board game.

Episode 137: Everybody Shut Up

Sometimes ya just gotta shut the fuck up. Except when you have to do a podcast for work, since it's your job now. So we're talking about some classic Twitter bullshit, things that are kind of jokes and kind of not, bad parenting, and our Minority Report future. Lot of this stuff is "not for me", but maybe you'll like it?? Hell I don't know. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 136: Something Normal Dumbass

This week on YKS...we need more emails! An update on the O'Cock Watch! And more! Here are some of the suggestions our Discord gave for the title of the (as yet unheard) episode when I asked: No Signal Mountain 2, Pee Pee Poo Poo, Another One, Breakfast Soup 2, etc. Glad I went with this one. Much better. Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional Research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

Episode 135: Gimme a Baby Wipe

Here's a family fun idea: listening to YKS! This week on the show we got some cat stuff, some phone stuff, some Trump stuff, and some sports stuff. Remember the Hulk Hogan sex tape? Remember the Masked Singer? Remember VTech? Remember breathing trash gas? We kind of do, for some of it, and for evidence look no further than this episode of the program.

Episode 134: 100% Unhackable

On today's YKS, we got some bad Kickstarters gang. Sound familiar? Plus, JF learns a weightlifting lesson and finds a new favorite Kickstarter. And Mike is there as well (didn't write down any notes on what he said but you know it's good. That's Mike baby! What about Baby Mike, like Baby Yoda? That could be something cool. A little Mike in a floating orb. I've only seen the first episode of the show but the baby is floating in an orb. Let's get one for Mike.) Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell ...

Episode 133: Minimalism 2

Dog poop...man's most hated enemy. Will we ever vanquish this eternal foe? Or will we be overwhelmed and consumed by its hot stink? Plus, unnecessary laundry hacks, multiple water bottle solutions, and the return of an old friend. It's yet another YKS, right now, on your phone while you're trying to go to sleep! Goodnight!

Episode 132: Mister P

YouTube finally corners JF...Mike mourns the innocence of his favorite show, Investigate Discovery...talking to your cyber security service (hey, they called me!), the anti-porno phone and more. Seems like a lot for one show, but somehow we get it all in and have about 90 more minutes to say "how's it going" and "what's up".

Unlocked!! YKS Premium S7E2: The 12 Davids of Lynchmas: Mulholland Drive with Struggle Session

Hey, this is from the YKS Premium feed, and it features our friends Jack Allison and Leslie Lee III from Struggle Session . We brought them on to discuss the David Lynch film "Mulholland Drive". We did this because our theme this month is "The 12 Davids of Lynchmas", and the idea behind that was that we would watch and then review David Lynch movies in the month of December, which we did do and are still doing. We're releasing this one for free because we didn't want to do any work this week. If...

Episode 129: Booty Mode

Fight...for your right...to sip with plastic! Ironically! That's right folks it's another YKS. And on today's show, we're uncovering the secrets of the human condition: where do we come from, why are we here, how do you create money, and why isn't there a little piece of paper that catches your poop before it hits the toilet water? The answers to all these questions and more, on the free episode of YKS! It's free! Shouldn't be able to give it away! Insane...Actually, criminal....We're doing crim...

100 good ideas...we'd be lucky to have that many in our damn lifetime. Other people are giving them away for free, like simple trash. This week on YKS, DB digs deep to overcome a serious case of Bird Flu, and JF destroys with logic the endless rituals of Christmastime.

It just ain't a Tuesday without YKS baby! What if that bell guy from Monty Python was running around, saying stuff like that. Hey, YKS is here. Whatever he says in the movie. Been a while since I saw it. I guess it was funny, though, because they ended up making all those Hot Topic shirts about it, so. Must've been something. Anyway, today's show is all about Kickstarters. Enjoy! Music for YKS is courtesy of our friends Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research provided ...

Today we're leaving the past in the past...but not before we apologize for it like the dogs that we are. On this episode of YKS, Mike and JF grovel for your forgiveness before getting into the shit we love to hate so much: ethical traditional shampoo varietals, How To Become A Boomer: The Book, and Super Size Me if it was about chicken instead of chicken and burgers. And you just KNOW that would be harder to do!! Alright enjoy the show. Peace. Music for YKS is courtesy of our friends Howell Dawd...

Well it's almost practically Halloween, (if you're even allowed to say that anymore)!! And to celebrate, Mike and JF talk about candy for about, I would guess, 3 or so minutes before just doing a regular show after that. Kickstarters, riffing, an email. Commercial in there as well. The whole thing. It's business as usual at YKS HQ...UNusual that is. And Cool Cat is back, in a real bummer of a way.
