Episode 337: The In-Person Guys Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

DB and JF are back together in the studio (of sorts) once again…and the vibes, as they say, are immaculate. On today’s episode, we got a LIVE update on an old Kickstarter, a new way to play chess, a new way to wash dishes, and a very old way of communing with nature…might as well spit!

Episode 333: The Most Important Day There Is Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

You look like a monkey…and you smell like one too! And many more!? Is this how we talk to a friend?! My god. Whatever happened to he’s a jolly good fellow. You probably can’t say that anymore. And we all know it’s because of Grok, the new woke AI! Well what else is going on. Says here Mike got his man card revoked on this one…well that’s a fine how do you do. And plus we learn all about our friend Peeping Tom! How nice! Plus, between the last NFT horse limping to the finish line, a pen that you can write on food with, and a floor mat that you can use to open your garage door, I would say that this is an episode to listen to, no doubt about it. So close your eyes, blow out the candles, and here’s your surprise…another episode of YKS!

Episode 332: French Fries Are My Bag, Baby, Yeah Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

Today I was explaining the show to someone who had not heard of it, and most of the time when I do that, I lean heavily on the “scam” aspect of the Kickstarters. It’s definitely subconscious, but I think somehow I feel like that lends a bit more legitimacy to our silly show – almost like we’re doing something in service of the public – so I can imply with a straight face that my job is kind of important. But when it comes right down to it, it’s basically a lot of VR strip clubs and electronic dogs. And Fempots. And that’s okay.

Episode 331: Free Apples and Dogwater Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

Well it’s Cyber Monday and you know what that means…"every product from every retailer, service, marketplace, subscription platform, independent seller, and payment processor come in with everything for a HUGE sale"! Actually I think we forgot it was Cyber Monday when we recorded this. But still, we managed to discuss a good number of products, including: another cringey party game about getting canceled, a device that will keep your basketball from breaking off the inflation needle and having it rattle around inside the ball, and an actually pretty cool cyber diaper that both hosts wear while recording the episode. One of those is fake but the others are real, and if you want to know which is which, ask David Spade!

Episode 330: It’s G2 Racing When I’m There Nov 20, 2023

Show notes

I fell down the steps earlier but don’t worry it was only like 2 steps and they were carpeted. So everything’s fine over here. How is it going with you? Oh, I see. Well, hopefully it will get better soon. Like maybe right after you listen to this episode of YKS featuring: Larry, Curly, and the other guys! Jewelry made from trash but not in the cool way! And projects related to basketball, non-alcoholic beverages, and huge TVs that not even we can support. Can you imagine? They would have to be pretty rank. And they are. Ah well. Time to go back up the carpeted stairs in my very slick socks quite safely and easily. And if you don’t hear from me until Friday, assume the worst!

Episode 329: The Beatles New Song Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

Let’s make this one quick, Chrome wants to update itself for the 19th time this week and I need to relaunch it and lose all my tabs. Oh it doesn’t lose all your tabs they should just open right back up or they’re in your history…blah blah blah…who cares! I FEEL like I’m going to lose all my tabs. And my feelings don’t care about facts. Now let’s discuss Today’s Topics. On this week’s ep, we’ve got a meat cube, a book light, and a lollipop. Sound lackluster? Well, I’ve cleverly left out some key details of those projects that might just get you clicking on the play button. That’s my secret. I want you to click play! And that was Today’s Topics. Enjoy the show.

Episode 328: T-Shirt TV Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

You are not going to believe some of the Kickstarters we dredged up this week. An umbrella that moves around for you?? A social network for dogs?? An ad for the woods?? If you believe all that you would believe what we dredged up this week because that’s what it is. And like 3 other things. And somehow it takes like 2 hours to do all that. Insane. What is going with these guys?? I’m worried sick!
