Episode 447: Two 40 Year Olds Made An Amazing Podcast All By Themselves Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

I honestly can’t believe it. These two old guys put out another podcast. And they do it basically every week! Now, it’s not really about anything in particular. And it embarrasses them if you bring it up. Most people seem to use it to go to sleep. But like…wow! Lots of people don’t do podcasts. And these guys did. At the end of the day, yeah, it sucks, but they still did it! Plus, a different guy did a lot of the work. But still. Pretty cool.

Episode 446: Top 10 Rarest Labubu Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

There is good in this world…take my little robot vacuum, for instance. No, don’t! I love him! But really though. He’s just doing his thing. Sucking up dirt and wiping the floor and only driving through dog doo doo one time in his whole life and never again. Then he goes back to his hole and throws up the dirt and pees out the yucky water and falls asleep for 23 hours. In a way, isn’t that what we all do? (Guy who is being driven insane by technology except it’s his robovac and not an AI girlfriend): Yep. We are not so different, my vacuum and I. Not so different at all.

Episode 445: Boosting Crotch Dimensions Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

He drops back…taking his time…locates his target…and boom! The connection is made! That’s right, the connection between podcast file and RSS feed, of course! And with that, another historic episode of YKS has been posted, and JF has showered DB with the celebratory Sports Electrolyte Drink. What color was it? Well it was either red or green…let’s ask that fool!! Nah but that was a lot of fun. And so is this episode! Except just like this weekend, the best part is the ads and the halftime show (Producer Dan chugging a gallon of Aquafina).

Episode 444: A Serious Moment with Bubbles the Chimp Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

If Bubbles the Chimp were here today, I like to think he would say “Hey man, YKS is, like, my favorite podcast, dude!” And I just remembered that he is alive, but I guess I meant “here” in the sense of like, being right beside me. Which would frankly be terrifying. I don’t want to be anywhere near a chimp. With all due respect to chimps, of course! They seem to have a lot to offer the world, and it’s certainly difficult to deny their charms, but a safe distance is preferable as far as I’m concerned. Alright now, let’s see, what is this episode about? Says here it’s about computers coming to life and kissing us. Well that will certainly be an interesting tale! Tune in to find out.

Episode 443: Let’s Get Some of that Sauce Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

Alright, the power’s out and the heat’s off. Let’s not use up the last bit of our phone battery hotspotting the laptop to write some long drawn out episode description gag where I replace the lyrics to Jidenna’s breakout hit “Classic Man” with stuff about doing a podcast. But like, it would be really easy. I’m a Podcast Man. You can be me with an SM7b. I’m a Podcast Man. And oh yeah I’m dressed really fuckin annoying too. And I’m swirling around a microphone cord even though that could damage the microphone. “The bad boy of podcasts”. Me. And my crazy friends, too.

Episode 442: Excursion to the Donkey Valley Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

Mike said he was sick for this one. I don’t know. He didn’t seem sick to me. He seemed suspiciously at the top of his game. And thank goodness for that. Because we needed all his powers for this episode – one full of fun, mirth, and madness! And some Kickstarters as well. To wit: a doctor trying to become a content creator, our favorite Kitchen Idiots, a watch that doesn’t work, and more. Oh and just as a cautionary note, I’d tell you to watch out for Mike coughing and sneezing a lot on this episode, but he didn’t do it at all. So. Make of that what you will.

Episode 441: The Most Stinkiest Celebs Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

P.U. ain’t just a university anymore, folks! It’s the premiere destination online for stinky celeb rankings, and honestly now that I’m typing it out I’m pretty mad I didn’t just make the site and paywall it instead of making a joke about it. I wanna make some money off stink freaks! Well, whoever does it just put me in the credits of the site, but like, make it clear I’m not into it. I just helped with the idea and vibe coded the CSS.

On today’s show we have those aforementioned stinky pits and their ultimate enemy: Italian Soap Scientists, plus a new kind of underwear for people afraid of their own bodies, and of course, your table has a brain now. What? Your table. Has a brain. Now!

Episode 440: I Really Need The Gong Soon Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

It’s 2026…are we really still doing podcast episode descriptions? I mean, come on! It should be AI! Or it should be some guy on the other side of the world that we’re just saying is AI. It should be at least that. UGH! Fine. I will write it. But it WON’T be good. On this episode of YKS there’s a dog…uh, thing. Honestly this was recorded last month I don’t remember what these were, save for one. I really really don’t like the guy making the podcast about bringing people together. Well, I guess I should say I don’t like the podcast, not that I don’t like him. I don’t know him. And actually I didn’t really listen to the podcast, either, so that hardly seems fair. If I really think about it, what’s causing me to have this reaction to him? Resentment…jealousy…just the way I was brought up? Gosh, I’ve never really thought about it. But now that I have, I have decided to change my mind. I’m now in favor of stupid fucking fake crap you put online for clout. And with that, enjoy this episode of Crap Shit Sucks: The AssCast.

Episode 439: UNLOCKED! Farrarch 3: Bob’s Burgers with Paul F. Tompkins Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

It’s almost New Year’s, and we’re unlocking a New Fear – that of a New Episode of YKS NOT being re-released. But we’re also unlocking something else simultaneously, which makes this little linguistic flair quite apropos after all! That’s right, it’s UNLOCKED EPISODE time! And for this week, we revisit one of the year’s best with one of the world’s best – Bob’s Burgers with Paul F. Tompkins. This time, the video is here for everyone to enjoy, along with about 20 extra minutes of me sounding like a psycho. So sit back, relax, and “toon” in. And out. And in. And out. Oh baby!

This very episode, and hundreds more like it, was birthed from the loins of YKS Premium! The almost-always exclusive home of YKS Staples like Farrarch, Miketober, YKS Beach Party, and more. Sorry for saying the birth loins thing. I made a point to say something Chappy Tea wouldn’t say because I used 2 emdashes up there and I know that’s a whole thing now.

Episode 438: UNLOCKED! Miketober 666 - Demons with Jon Gabrus Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

Well it’s 3 days before Xmas and the boys are taking a little bit of a break. So here’s a recent classic YKS Premium – now with 23 minutes of B-B-B-Bonus Content – unlocked and with video, if you haven’t seen that shit before.

But something you SHOULD have seen before is 1985’s Demons, some very wonky Italian horror that basically don’t play by the rules. And neither does our guest! Returning to the show in a blaze of glory, from Action Boyz and Staying Alive, the inimitable Jon Gabrus is here!

Music for Miketober courtesy of Wavmage and Munimula. This episode was mixed, mastered and immediately remastered by Producer Dan. Social Media by Maddalena Alvarez.
