Show notes

Hey…I was walking over there! That’s right, JF is back from NY and he’s ready to say whether he had a “nice time” or not! Plus several Kickstarter projects of ill repute! Look just be glad this one came out alright. It was touch and go, Jerry!

Episode 476: Ice Cream Has Always Been More Than Dessert Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Ice Cream is so yummy and nummy…even Snoop agrees! But enough about that guy, said no one ever, because it’s time once again for an ice cube invention! Hey don’t worry Snoop, we’re not talking about the man behind It Was a Good Day…you’re the only hip hopper for us! No, we’re talking about the things we put in our drinks to keep them nice and cool. Hey, just like you, Snoop! Plus, an invention that plays your guitar for you and a thing that helps you wash your car. That oughta come in handy on the road! Especially now that you’ve “given up smoke”!

Episode 475: The Second Judy in Our Lives is Not a Scam Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

I don’t feel too good so I’m gonna get right to the chase. Cut to it, I mean. We did 6 Kickstarters this week and I think we spent most of the time talking about the grocery store. Word to the wise…DON’T have a huge milkshake after competing in a pickle eating contest! Good way to get covid.

Episode 474: The Early Bird Gets the Data with Matty Real Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Ah, guests…wait a minute…that gives me an idea for a month of episodes! Yeah like 2 years ago maybe! That’s right because of course we’ve already done it. And what a job we did do! If it wasn’t one guest, it was another, right on down the line. Before you knew it, we had an episode – actually, a string of them – and there they sat on the computer until one day they were mysteriously uploaded in sequence! Ah, but that’s the magic of electronics, isn’t it? Of course, my dear boy.

And today we’re joined by a dear boy, our friend in content, Matty Real!

Check out Matty’s new show, The Quizard’s Pit, wherever you get podcasts! And follow him on Twitch.

Episode 473: Soda Pop Hall of Fame with Nick Wiger Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

You ever hang out with a kid who’s really excited to show you his toys and it’s like, to you, the toys are just kind of boring crap, but you play along because obviously it means a lot to him and he doesn’t really understand that you have much better stuff to do? At a certain point, you’ve been pretending for so long that you catch yourself getting actually into it a little bit, but then the kid ends up taking a big smelly dump in his pants and you can tell it’s time to go. Later, in the car, you’re really thankful you don’t have to clean up that shit. It smelled really bad. And the kid didn’t even seem to notice. He must do this a lot.

Anyway, on today’s episode of AuGuest, we showed our friend Nick Wiger some Kickstarters.

Do yourself a flavor and listen to Nick on Doughboys and Get Played. Now that’s what I call, Munchie Madness!

Episode 472: My Epiphany Tub with Merritt K Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

(video coming later today)

AuGuest continues, and not a moment too soon! (????) The wonderful Merrit K from the online computer joins us for a laid back, “Weekend Style” YKS that just doesn’t make a mess! That’s right, no need to go and get a small towel and place it next to you for this one, and don’t even bother with wiping your hand on your leg somewhat. There’s no point! Just stick this ep right up ya, and go to town. It’s all-new, and it’s a lot of fun as well. And, we finally find out what’s wrong with Women. Ah! I hope a man says it.

Get every episode of YKS ad-free on YKS Premium! Well YKS Premium is what we call the bonus eps. YKS is still YKS there, but there’s just no ads. It’s kind of a categorization problem. I’m not sure how to refer to the destination itself rather than the show. But then again the journey is the destination sometimes as well. So have a blast.

MyBobo…very annoying. Not that nice of a guy. I don’t think…I don’t think he’ll be coming around very much anymore, do you? Things have been arranged. To our mutual satisfaction. Thanks to our very wonderful and interesting and quite capable friend “Board”! Isn’t he great, folks? Okay. Thank you. I think so.

Episode 469: Pureed Pumpkin Is Quite Mild And Flavorless On Its Own Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

I almost forgot to post this one. But that probably doesn’t reflect on the quality of the episode, right? I just forgot what day it was. But that probably doesn’t reflect on me as a person or the type of life I live, right? It’s just normal stuff. Could happen to anyone. It probably has happened to Scott Aukerman like 9 million times. Yep he probably forgot to post Comedy Bang Bang 9 million times. That explains why he’s in magazines and I’m sitting in my computer chair nudely.

Episode 468: The Crowdfunding Junkies Jul 20, 2026

Show notes

They should make more Star Wars movies. And by “they”, I guess I mean “whoever the fuck feels like it”. Hey it can’t be any worse than Rise of Skywalker, can it? Well, I thought that movie was decent. So it probably can be worse than that. Scary Movie was worse than it. So it stands to reason that other things could be as well. I’m guessing that being one of those guys who shows up to the ER saying he slipped and fell on a barbie doll in the shower and it went all the way up his ass and he can’t get it out is worse than Episode 9, also, from what I have read in various journals and documents. Speaking of which, I have to go work on some documents right now! Ah, I’d love to talk more about this or anything else but I simply don’t have the time. Documents await!
