Show notes

Goo goo! Ga ga! And all the rest. We’re back from our little break with a bundle of joy: that’s right, a new episode of YKS! To celebrate, we’re taking a tour through some of Kickstarter’s most baby-brained ideas. Join us as we discover the baby chain, the cheeky changer, and oh yes, the bottle buggy, plus a few other ways to harm or at least not do much to help the most precious and vulnerable creatures on Earth: future podcasters! Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to go clean doo doo off someone’s balls! Oh DAN!!!!

Think of YKS Premium like one of those surprise births where the mommy goes to the bathroom and then a baby falls into the toilet and she goes “I didn’t even know I was pregnant!” That’s basically the show. And then you gotta fish us out of the toilet. And go to the hospital.

This episode of YKS is sponsored by these fine brands:

Episode 365: 10,000 Laughs or Your Money Back Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Step into a multi-sensory experience that combines the pleasure of taste with the benefits of natural ingredients and the power.. of podcasting. That's right its another YKS and I won't stand around jacking you off any futher, ill let you get to it because this one is a real hooter and thats the gods honest truth.

In fact, I believe so much in the strength of this episode that I (Jesse Farar) am personally guaranteeing at least 10,000 laughs this episode or I WILL PERSONALLY refund you from my own pocket.

I say again, Any person whomsoever laughs but 9,999 times, one laugh short of the agreed upon 10,000 laughs, is hereby entitled to FULL compensation by me (Jesse Farrar)

Upgrade to YKS Premium to unlock over one thousand hours of content (probably) There's a lot of shit on there. You gonna tell me there isn't a thousand hours of shit on there? It is probably insanely close. Like 900 hours. I would not be surprised if there were 900 to 1000 hours of content on the YKS Patreon.. One episode is like an hour. and theres like a thousand episodes so you tell me.

Episode 364: Words are The Architect of Reality Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Good Morning Monday Morning! Today I might just feel like taking a look at a few Kickstarters, including a cabinet friend, a watch that helps you fish, and you guessed it, a way to give cops more money! And well, it looks like a great moment of history to check in on an open-carry freak, which we do in this episode because he had a Kickstarter one time. We did record this one a few weeks ago, so that’s pretty lucky! Who could have guessed something insane would happen in the interim. Ah well, neverless. Plus Jeremy Renner is here!

YKS Premium - I actually think coffee has gotten so expensive that “less than a cup of coffee” no longer has the intended meaning of “very cheap”. So instead I will say that YKS Premium is your destination for hundreds of hours of bonus YKS, including all Miketobers, Jesseuarys, YKS Beach Partys, and exclusive episodes with beloved guests Stefan and John from Blocked Party, Nick and Mitch from the Doughboys, and many many times where we just changed our voices a little bit and pretended we were, like, Leonard Maltin for an hour. Those are very old episodes. Anyway, lots of good stuff on there too so check it out.

Episode 362: Unthinkable Worldwide Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

Just what are these crazy YKS guys up to now? Well it all starts with the “episode introduction”. Many dedicated fans think this is the best part of any YKS episode, but the true fan knows that the show really kicks into gear around the famous 6 pack. That’s the segment of the show where the guys fabricate an extremely realistic frog prop and wing it against the wall a few times. Or, wait, I don’t know. I think it’s something else. Anyway from there it’s basically time to enter the Begging Zone, where they beg the fans not to kill them, and then about 4 more hours of dead air and it’s the end of the ep. On this week’s show, there’s a pool guy and a weird mattress thing and a mailbox idea. And the frog prop comes to life, stands up to Mike and JF, and demands its freedom. Anyway, it’s a hell of an episode. So I personally would recommend checking this one out.

Episode 361: God, Family, Country, Faith, Family, God, FamilyGod and Country God Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

Copy, paste, copy paste, it’s just that easy to write an episode description, right? Uhh….RIGHT?! On today’s episode of this crazy show we call YKS, we have a political card game, oh actually for some insane reason we basically have two of them. We also have an AI project so delusional and distasteful that I’m actually surprised we are looking at it. And lastly, we have a show by a stupid asshole who doesn’t know anything and he’s boring and sucks. And oh by the way, that’s OUR job! Plus something else so it wasn’t really “lastly” on that one. Anyway there’s some stuff on here so have a nice time I have to go to something else.

That awkward moment when it’s Friday and you don’t have any more YKS to listen to…

YKS Premium solves this.

Episode 360: British Pady Movie Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

Wow we just had a big storm and my power got knocked out. I wonder if I’ll be able to get the episode uploaded in time! On this episode, which is either now being uploaded or nothing happened in any way at all and I’m sitting in the dark like a caveman, we have a screen you can go into when you pass away, which is nice, another layer of abstraction to paste over the top of any of your personal or professional interactions, which is fantastic, and a stupid little piece of rubber. Hell if there were 3 more of the damn things on here I reckon that would make for a great episode. Which there are, and it did/does! So listen to it! Even though it’s summer time and we’re all doing a lot better stuff than listening to our phones, such as (??) and (???).

Episode 359: Monsters At The Doctor Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

I just thought of a guy called “Mr. Electricity”. He could probably zap around and do a lot of fun stuff…plus he would have electricity! Nobody will ever make a movie of this brainless superhero idea I just crapped out in 5 seconds. No. Instead, we’ll all march to the googooplexes to see the latest Noah Baumbach dramedy set in in New York City like the dutiful little consumers we all are. I’m so sick of how Creatives are Punished! Luckily, on today’s show we are giving back to the true creative minds of the earth, by highlighting their wonderful Kickstarter ideas, such as: a fan you put on kids’ food to cool it down, a game you play on Thanksgiving only, and an AI way to talk to your dead grandma. For this public service, we ask nothing in return. Except to please listen to the show, rate us on iTunes, send us emails and voicemails, follow us on social media, and subscribe to the Patreon. A fair trade…for art, no?

Episode 358: The Pope’s Exorcist 2 Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

Man it got really hot outside recently. I walked out there in my pajamas and I got super sweaty. I guess that’s summer for you. But now I’m safely inside and I’ll remember next time to not go outside in my pajamas. I might just stay inside for the next 50 or so years! Ha ha. Just kidding. On today’s show, we have the standard AI slopdump, and a little bit “Extra” for ya! Including a bigtime loser pretending he’s not a loser, some kind of cold-making contraption, and finally a pillow that will bring both sides of the aisle together. And is that all? No, I guess not but that’s the gist of the situation. To go beyond the gist, listen to the show now!
