Your Kickstarter Sucks
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!

Last night I was trying to think of something to get mad about and I came up with “sometimes if you have a car that has a push button ignition it’s sort of hard to tell if it’s all the way on or just in accessory mode.” I know there’s a lot of bad stuff happening in the world, but I’m kind of embarrassed that I couldn’t come up with a slight inconvenience or weird interaction to ruminate on so intensely that it screwed up ...
The only sponge you don’t have to fold! Cute pets always can't help us make hugging them. It all starts with a shift. And all the rest. They’re our friends, these little sayings. So we will ask to smell their balls on the set of our TV show and, I guess, still keep making the TV show. Oh well!

Engaging Episode Description Protocol C.R.A.Z.Y – Comedy wRiting And Zany…Yep! 10-4. Protocol fully engaged. Deploying tactical laugh gas and precision funny bone homing missiles. Target is median age 45 information technology administrator with generalized anxiety disorder and compulsion to eat spicy chips. Reports indicate this episode could be the one that turns it around for them. So let’s make it count, boys. On my ma...
Listen up. It’s the show. And, what’s more, this is the description of it.

There should be a way to just have a single ordinary thought and immediately have it translated into a physical manifestation of my misunderstanding of what “Art” is! And it should be RIGHT NOW because I have to go to the CAR DEALERSHIP later! Well, luckily, that seems to be the only problem American Capital is aiming to solve, beyond “make sure no one has jobs anymore”, which is also going VERY WELL! As maddening as that ...
Snoopy and the gang are going for a ride in the new Chrysler Pacifica. And why not! They’re ostensibly children, despite being something like 80 years old by this point, so there’s simply no doubt they would take full advantage of the best-in-class technology and entertainment on offer in the well-appointed Premium trim or even in the luxurious, top-of-the-line Pinnacle edition.
Why, I could see the entire Peanuts crew now...
I respect the hell outta y’all for listening to this show. It takes a lot of damn guts to sit down and figure out your bluetooth while you’re driving your car. There’s some real chutzpah involved in throwing in some HeadBudz and halfway paying attention to 2 jagoffs talking shit while you’re washing a dish. I mean it. Hell, I could never do it. But I do want to ask you this. Do you have what it takes? I mean do you really ...
The year is 2025. Someone is writing “The World’s First” on their little piece of crap they invented and not wondering why someone else didn’t get to it first. This will presumably never stop happening. I mean why, would it? When you can cop a mad deece six figgies off a picture frame with a speaker in it, why would you ever iterate on someone else’s design? You’ve got the magic damn touch! Your ideas are divine! Actually,...
Wow! With apologies to our friends from What A Time To Be Alive, I admit this has been one heck of a week to be saying that phrase! For one thing, it looks like Taco Bell is bringing back some of their classic menu favorites, plus I’m just getting over a small toe injury from a couple of weeks ago, and there’s a new game out that I’m not going to play but I bet some of my friends will. Busy, busy, busy! But as crazy as thi...
Down…set…hut hut…Podcast! It’s football season and oh man that’s funny I just saw Fireman Ed on TV. I thought he was giving it up because they didn’t put him on the Jumbotron enough. What happened, Ed? Couldn’t come up with anything else to do on Sundays? Looks like he assaulted a guy as well. Check out his Wikipedia page picture also. Funny. He is, of course, the most normal NFL fan. Anyway, congrats to all sports fans on...
How to Become A Millionaire with ChatGPT, from the guys who need $150. Alright, look. It’s getting to be a little bit like when that psychic hotline went under, and everybody said “hey didn’t they see that coming?” which is hack, of course. But…I dunno. Maybe it’s right! Let’s have a little space for the Reddity logic guys. Maybe if you can make a million bucks off ChatGPT, you should have to do it first, instead of asking...
Together, you’ve heard them 14 times on YKS, and on their streams and podcasts, perhaps millions more. But today is not about that. Today is about…pumpy. Actually I forget what that was. So let’s say that today is about Kickstarters. Even though it rarely is, of course. And as you can see by the prodigious runtime of this episode, it had very little chance to be the exception proving the rule. But what if it were? Well you...
What if masculinity could be redefined? Well, I don’t know. I don’t really know what that means. It sounds like something Tom Brady would say on a Sunday morning in a watch commercial while I’m ambling to the kitchen to get more chips. But now knowing it’s some dummy sitting in front of his TV cords mumbling about eating vegetables or something, well hey, now I’m ready to sign up to go to some weird man yelling camp! On to...
They call it AuGuest…but they should be calling it “Aw yeah! This month is “Au” – the periodic symbol for the element gold, that is. Because the guests, the Kickstarters, the production, and hey even the hosts themselves…they’re as good as gold! But unlike gold, you won’t find something this glittery – although not everything that glitters is it – in the ground, but rather in the digital files of my very device, which is i...
What do you get when you cross August the month with Guests, the people you have on your show sometimes? Well you get a fresh pair of eyes on the interesting yet crazy Kickstarters of the day, a ton of laughs, and oh yeah, you get AuGuest, the brand new concept rolling into YKS just this very month! Join us and inaugural guest Stefan Heck as we take a look at computer mouse storage, a music pleasure insertion toy, basicall...
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 do...
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. ...
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 ...
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...
D drive…more like double d drive. Bazonga.exe! I’m not going to do any more computer puns in the episode description because, frankly, it’s not what the episode is about. And that makes it a disservice to you, the listener, and a distraction to everything going on in the world today. So I’ll simply say that on this episode we talk about some Kickstarters that are pretty interesting on their own, but really get taken up a c...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
