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!
Hi everybody! I have an idea for a crab trap that makes it really hard for crabs to go into the trap, very easy for them to get out, and also it takes up a lot of space on your boat. Basically, it sucks. HmmmâŚI think this will be the predominant tool of the industry for, oh, Iâll say, forever. WRONG SHITHEAD! YOU DIDNâT INNOVATE AND NOW YOUâRE DEAD! DEAD LIKE A CRAB!
Also on todayâs show weâve got a nice little mascot for a restaurant of sorts, place to store those pesky eyeglasses, and a phone holder that you can break open to reveal the passphrases for a lottery puzzle. Actually itâs been canceled due to being illegal and stupid. But we didnât know about this then. Because this episodeâŚis from the recent past! Ah! Like our dreaded crab traps! Enjoy.

I need to simplify my life. I think probably the best way to do that is to start gluing stuff in my house to each other. That way when I want my spoon, hey, my matches are right there. And my hand towels? Well they wonât go missing again, glued such as they are to my desktop keyboard. Donât ask me why I need them in the same spot. Itâs really only something you can understand when your life is as simple as mine.
On todayâs show weâve got, naturally, a way to glue your car keys to your phone, a thing that says it helps people but probably doesnât (not this show), and a bed that constantly takes your dogâs blood pressure or something. And thatâs just the Kickstarters! Thereâs other stuff in here too, like your friends Mike, JF, and Dan. And oh yeah, the Kickstarters as well. Now where'd I put that danged Post Episode button? It was right here, next to the glue bottle!!

Political division! Itâs arguably the biggest problem facing society today, or a fake thing that does not exist at all except in the mind of feckless dorks and opportunistic grifters. Whoâs to say! Probably us, I would think. Yeah. I think itâs us guys who get to say what everything is. Also some stuff that âisâ this week: a type of coffee that doesnât make you go to the bathroom, an AI that helps you talk to women, and a religious satire movie that feels at least 20 years out of date. Plus, we donât say anything about putting down dogs in this episode so everyoneâs safe from that. If they donât read this far I guess.Â

What a special episode! We finally got to it! The most cynical Kickstarter we have ever seen! Itâs so special to actually get here and know that from here on out, every other unbuildable infrastructure project or card game rip-off or IP cash-in or political pandering or navel-gazing independent film or useless electronic doodad will be at the very least more of a genuine attempt at creating something than the project we talk about on todayâs show. I am looking forward to seeing them!
In addition to that hunk of crap, though, on todayâs show weâve got some goofy ass bible shit that feels like the end times, a project that attempts to undo the inevitability of meeting our end, and yep, a card game rip-off. Some nice comforting audio slop to offset the gobsmacking offensiveness of todayâs star of the show. And no, I ainât talkinâ about the boys themselves!! For crying out loud!Â

HEY! Wake up! Iâm guessing you were probably asleep when this episode came out. I mean, weâre asleep for a third of our lives, so we got a decent shot. And I love a damn underdog. Well now that youâre awake, would you like to go to the bathroom and squeeze out like a millimeter of pee? Donât forget to keep your eyes kind of halfway closed so you donât get all the way waked up. That always works. Alright now that youâre done and settling back into bed itâs time to relax completely without peeking at the time on the clock. Just kidding, motherfucker! Itâs 3am. Now youâre fucked. Might as well listen to the show.Â
And what a show it is! Today we got a few things I think youâll like. Well, you will if you like âcamera-wires.â And if you like AI-generated football insights mailed to you a year after the actual event, youâll be in hog heaven. Not to mention if you have an affection at all for F-tier CGI sticking Santa Clause âin the shitâ. But onion tear likers? Youâre shit outta luck. The rest of yas? Get in here! Itâs 3:02am. Time to laugh!Â

Eeeeeeeevveeerryyybboooody do the new show dance! Oh yeah! Letâs do it! I see you! Wow, guys, I knew you were super talented and always up for a crazy time, but I had no idea fans of YKS were such groovy groovers! You were really movin that thing! Well letâs put that energy to good use, shall we? By sitting still and quiet for like 2 hours while some other guys talk about the computer. Starting rightâŚ.NOW!
On todayâs show weâve got a pet memorial which honestly is fine just a little pretentious maybe but not every one of these is gonna be like CyberTruck Pedestrian Scraper, ya know? Sometimes itâs just a silly little doodad. And the idea is it prompts further spontaneous conversation. So get off my ass! And stop dancing! Plus weâve got a QR code you can finally wear on your lapel, money you can wear on your finger, and a book that I think even the Comic Book Guy would say is the âWorst. Idea. Everâ! ⢠. Copyright. Or maybe thereâs some other worst ideas on the thing I forget. Only one way to find outâŚto keep fucking still and listen to the show! And then go on the Pisscord and say if thereâs anything weird about it so we can read it and feel bad. Enjoy!

Go home, YKSâŚyouâre drunk! Oh wait no you arenât. Youâre just making another good ass funny ass episode of the show we all love to listen to. And after all, the show is quite beloved by many all around the worldâŚso why wouldnât we make more episodes of it? Well maybe we will get bored or hit by a bus or something. But not this week! We did one. And on it, we had some good ass shit such as the following: a movie about how to time travel, a drink that mixes up it own self for you and thereâs no booze or mixer in it, and also something called Morphy Richards. Morphy Richards. Well anyway, it sounds funny. So. Bring your sense of humor! Itâs required!

Iâm out of town so Iâm gonna make this one quick, alright? Girl Scout Cookies are cookies sold by Girl Scouts in the United States to raise funds to support Girl Scout councils and individual troops. The cookies are widely popular and are commonly sold by going door-to-door, online, through school or town fundraisers, or at "cookie booths" set up at storefronts.[1] The program is intended to both raise money and improve the financial literacy of girls. During an average selling season (usually January through April), more than one million girls sell over 200 million packages of cookies and raise over $800 million.[2][3] The first known sale of cookies by Girl Scouts was in 1917.[4][5][6] Cookie sales are organized by 112 regional Girl Scout councils[7] who select one of two national bakeries to buy cookies from.[3][8]
Plus we learn about Disease X.

Sometimes youâll look at the title of an episode and think to yourself, âOh yeah, I remember why the title of the episode was gonna be this. Because we did a good riff on what The Duckcallerâs Lament would be. And then you got some times where you have to write âPumpkin Masterâs Sake Bonesâ down in the title box, and you wish you could crawl into a hole and die. There are a lot more of those weeks.Â
Anyway on todayâs show, we got Lilâ Entrepreneurs, a movie that feels like a fake movie inside a fake movie, and a nice Guilt App that makes you feel bad for just sitting around doing nothing evil. And plus, God willing, a riff about Sake Bones that justifies this incomprehensible mishmash of an episode title. Please.Â
