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 175: Clunky Tongs Country

Ring ring....hello? Yes it's the YKS War Room. Yes, our refrigerator is running. Why do you ask? Oh crap, you're doing a prank on us. Well, just so you know, the NEAS Secret Service is listening in on all these calls, so. And we've been crying in the bathroom all day as well. On today's show we've got some funny little calls, which you probably guessed! Plus, some new brain hacks for memory keeping, a new kitchen gadget that sucks, and one of the all-time freaks from hell is back with another st...

Episode 174: The People Trumped Ronald Plump

Brian and Ed, you beautiful sons of bitches, you finally did it. You -- We -- Trumped Ronald Plump at last. Now to enjoy the next four to eight years of peaceful, social justice oriented, climate conscious stewardship from our trusted progressive ally, Joe Biden. Heh. Anyway also on today's show we've got what is hopefully the last word on ironic red hat co-opting paraphernalia, Cooking For Men about 10 years too late, and a DOA exercise product even JF's tiny, pathetic ass couldn't make use of....

Episode 173: Avatar Status

Checking in with Justin Bieber's pastors...Talkin' Blue Guys....The War on Christmas begins...and finally, David Hasselhoff returns to the stage. Obviously we want you to download and enjoy this episode today, but hell, tomorrow might even be a good day to put some earbuds in and tune everything out. Put it on your bluetooth speaker or pass your mopey, ironic brother the aux cord and crank up YKS for the whole neighborhood to hear. Maybe that's what will bring us all together! Doubt it, but if y...

Episode 172: Kick It Under The Fridge

Too Many Doggos? Is there EVEN such a thing? Well, some Fun Haters around the web think so. Let's get em!! We will be spending as little time as possible on Reddit-like terminology such as that, and as much time as we can possibly justify on why I'm right that all chain pizza is scientifically indistinguishable. Plus, we've got the next generation of Ice Cube Technology, a thing seemingly designed for fast food guys to review shit in their car, and a movie that manages to be so stupid that it's ...

Episode 171: King Kong Vs. America

That's how we do it in Margaritaville, son -- a normal thing to say that I have said and will say moving forward as well. On today's show we've got a Donald Trump doll that looks like a....what???? Plus a new type of headgear, an app just for pasta, a device for making your dog's kibble look even less appetizing than normal, and of course, a stupid card game made by unfunny dorks. And that's pretty much it! Doesn't seem like it would take that long to read 6 things but by God it does. So sit bac...

Episode 170: Slippy Slide Ride Down Tube Canyon

It's time to sue Mike, everyone! He loves sandwiches and it's time to take him to the cleaners, woodshed, and poor house. On today's show we've got a new frontier in tea drinking completely SMASHED, your notions of the wisdom of staying strapped on the beach DESTROYED, and best of all we've got America finally BROUGHT together at last by pictures of, what else, feet. It's a hell of an episode featuring nothing to get mad at us about, so there's no need to try. I'd suggest simply sitting back, re...

Episode 169: Donald, It's Time To Go

The episode is now up! Check out EXIF data, it's really real! On today's show, Mike and JF take you through the political news of the week and break down what you need to know and what you don't, plus just kidding who cares. We've really got for ya here some goofy Kickstarters: a COVID-19 flirting paddle (???), a service for renting a chair for $15, a troubling surgeon who seems to believe in aromatherapy, the worst possible way to walk your dogs, and much more. And if you've read this far send ...

Episode 168: Crow Porno

Would Italy be so good at designing boots if the country weren't shaped like a boot? Can any other explanation properly account for all the sexy leather coming out of the old country? On today's show we endeavor to find out, by using different types of research and asking tough questions of those in power. Just kidding...who cares! We've got the next evolution in wet vacuuming, fruit preservation technology, and the service that combines the surveillance state and app dating at last! Music for Y...

Episode 167: Sprrrip! Record Scratch!

Hey everybody have you seen my balls they're big and salty and brown! Ohhh Chef! We miss ya pal. Rest in Peace. And of course our friend Ruth Bader Ginsburg has got to do some resting as well. Got a big show today gang, so don't forget to listen to the whole thing, front to back. And hell, when you're done, spin it back for another go. The campaigns on this episode are all over the place....we've got some politics campaigns that really miss the mark, some really crappy vaporware tech, and a coup...

Episode 166: Is This Your Handwriting?

Well folks, the freaking Hell Earth is on fire once again, we have a knockoff Cheeto in the White House, and on top of that, my damn Cowboys and Bucs lost! Is there truly no respite for the weary....is there no balm in Gilead??? Well, no. Not like I'm gonna move to Gilead anyway. Instead I'll be here with you all, talking about a children's book (for adults), an app that will disrupt the economy (as soon as it makes sense), and a joke product (hell, unless you wanna buy it!). Music for YKS is co...

Episode 165: Handmade by Grandmothers

Holy crap, you guys! It's another YKS. This week on the show we're finally making the Bible cool (even though it was pretty cool already!), finding the upper limit for sock pricing, and of course playing Cocaine: The Game. Don't forget to bring a...holy crap you guys! Don't forget to bring a pair of headphones to listen to the show on! Holy crap....I'm seriously!

Episode 164: President TikTok

I am the LunchBorn, Master of the Midday, Knight of the Noontable, and heir to the Sandwich Throne. My sword is LunchKeeper, The Hunger's Bane, The DeliKiller, a salt-sharpened blade forged in the fires of a dirty Oster microwave. With it, I smite the villainous Growling Tummy and banish him from the Workrealm. Today on the show we've got a bunch of crap. Check it out.

Episode 163: God's Autograph

If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: stop whackin off to us! On today's show we've got a great bit based on something I found on my desk (don't skip ahead to it, let it come naturally; worth the wait), plus sort of the classic set-up of the show: 90 minutes long, not too many silent parts, Mike plays a fart sound at some point. Anti-Covid t-shirt, Trump Against Humanity, a nasty pimple popping thing, a psycho lady's dog talking to her, and more! Only on YKS. "YKS. Where else ya...

Episode 162: Mike Forgot To Title The Episode

Oh no! It's almost time for the big episode to come out and we don't have a title! Let's see, let's see...I know I had a list of great episode titles around here somewhere. The Grouse of Mouse? Doesn't make sense. Fries with That? No, should have used that for the Doughboys ep. Poop Olympics? That's great but I think we already used it. Dang it! We don't have time for this. I'm just going to have to go with the next thing I pull out of the big Title Hat. I hope it's good, or people are gonna be ...

Episode 161: The Ultimate Shoedown

Thank you! For! Your! Service! The undisputed Song of the Summer is here and, no, the singer didn't even have to talk about their "you know what" being "you know what". Hear it first on today's show before anywhere else, because no one else has the guts to play it! We treat you right (Dairy Queen). Plus: we slay some bastards, finally find a way to carry our fishing pole around on our motorcycles, and fill some guitars with liquid for whatever reason. Damn. That is awesome. Most importantly, DB ...

Episode 160: Actually For Helping

Hey, we're helpin' over here! That's right folks, it's another week on Earth which means another YKS has been uploaded to everyone's desktop PCs for their fullscreen listening pleasure. This week on the show we are figuring out how to interact with the police safely, paying to hear a weirdo's dreams, and sucking on a pen with our big slobbery mouths due to anxiety. Plus at least 3 additional things are said throughout the episode. Download this one now while you still can! It's a collector's ite...

Hey...have you ever wanted to surf? Well grab a board and hang ten brah! It's a gnarly podcast ocean out there and we're just trying to catch a wave....Sheeaahhh man! Alright enough of that. It's time to post the show. This week we're toasting our phones, enjoying the new Drill (same as the old Drill?), and finally trumping Trump with -- what else -- song! Come along with the boys and remember the bad experience of going to a water park as a kid, plus answer the question all capitalists want to ...

Episode 158: The Art of Chug

Welllllllllllll, well it's The Big Show! That was the entrance music of a wrestling guy from a number of years ago, but today we've got an episode of a podcast that could arguably go by the same name. That's because on episode 158 of YKS, we'll be introducing some products to you that might be able to make a real difference in your lives! Haha just kidding. We're going to talk about a penis board game. But there's also smart diapers, a joke of the day calendar for the terminally ill, and a produ...

Episode 157: The Earth is Cake

Naming the episode after a throwaway joke that will be dated by the time people hear it, not to mention years later...Winning! On this episode of YKS, we're reinventing late night television, the way people talk about weed, and in-car video content. Don't miss this episode, folks, the one they're calling "The Episode That's Out Today". It's gonna be yuuge (Donald Tump!.)

Your Kickstarter Sucks so bad, we didn't even talk about it! This week on the show, we welcome back the Doughboys Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell for a crowdfunding-free discussion of Star Wars, Labor Day, and of course, strokin' your "thing". Plus, the so-called "food experts" compete head to head with DB in the contest of wits with a confusing rule set and inconsistent question structure we're calling FoodPardy!

Episode 155: Just Throw It Away

Hey what if Mr. Magoo was walking around in today's times? It's not that difficult to imagine. Folks we've got a long episode today...almost as long as my hair has been getting due to quarantine! And it's just about as good, too. Smack that play button for some classic jokes, goofs, and smart stuff to say, as well as little Canadian pokemon guys, a new stupid mask type, a bad board game, and more.

Happy Daddy's Day Everyone Who Cares! On today's show we have a brand new character from DB, "Mikey the Centrist", plus fixes for the great problems of our time: deadly virus pandemics, police brutality, and gender neutral piss pans. Wow! I sure hope social influencers and politicians and the Illuminati are listening to this so we can get some shit done!

Live from New York, it's.....YKS? What if that's what it was? Heck I don't know but I think it would most likely change from Weekend Update to Weekday Update. Due to, well, that's when the show comes out for one thing. And that's just one change. I might do some other ones, but of course I haven't really had much time to think about it. What, with everything going on in the world and all that stuff. I guess I'd also make it not Live anymore, just in case we have some mess-ups we want to take out...

The US Postal Service brought to a screeching halt by widespread rioting and looting...Psychological warfare on our nation's sleeping-in citizens ramps up dangerously...Some news articles are too difficult to skim...Fixing the healthcare system with but a simple T-shirt...All that and more on today's YKS, an episode that's up on time and very full of many minutes of talking!

New schedule of YKS! How it's going for you so far? For us, it's going very well. Nobody asked! Fine! On today's YKS, we say goodbye to some beloved Nashville establishments, continue the pop culture conversation around #ReleaseTheJesseCut, and plumb the intellectual depths of sexual coffin scenarios. Plus, an update on butter tech, finally figuring out who the good cops are, and bringing values back to country music.

Episode 150: To Catch A Vibe

Hey, it's Monday....what the...???? Haha. That's what you sound like right now. First of all, relax. Calm down. It's a joke. Actually, it's not a joke at all. It's real and it's the future of YKS. We're doing Mondays now, alright? Try to keep up. This week on the show Mike and JF are talking about Donald Trump's big wet booty hole, the Problems with Movies (numerous), and some vicious hand to hand combat between members of the expanded YKSiverse. It's pretty good and plus, it's on Monday, which ...

Episode 149: M.I.C.H.A.E.L. H.A.L.E.

On today's YKS... The first use of italics in an episode description that I can recall, so that's big news. Plus! Should we be celebrating the vulva? Many people are saying, "Yes! With a book!" Thankfully, our friend Lil' Evan is here to save the day. And we've got so much more than that....we're talking about the Jetsonification of breakfast, we're talking outer body experiences, we're talking bad usernames, we're talking DOG SHIT. We got it all today baby. Tune in or get tuned up. Music for YK...

Paint drying may be the famously boring thing to watch happen....but what if you only listened to the part that happens before you even get to paint! That is today's episode in a nutshell, as Mike and JF discuss the finer points of drywall repair, the disease of serial inventorship, the great democratization of sub-South Parkian animation software, and political protest poems (with fiddle accompaniment).

A smarter butter dish....innovative design...a magnet to hold the included knife. If only life were this simple! Some would say that it is, and those people are making lots of money selling products online. On today's YKS, we actually talk about some of these crazy products, with a bit of a critical eye, to let you, the skeptical consumer, learn something, or whatever. And that is how you make a show.

Episode 146: One For The Road

Ohhh now this is so nice. It's another episode of YKS. This week on the show, I didn't take too many notes during recording because we were having such a good time. So that right there should tell you something. But it says here on the official episode outline that we talked about a Covid-19 coin, a combination cup + bluetooth speaker, and playing cards that, let's just say, the average simpleton won't be comprehending anytime soon. That would be enough, matter of fact, it would be MORE than eno...
