Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale 476 Episodes Oct 12, 2026

Mike Hale and Jesse Farrar go through crowdfunding projects on Kickstarter to help listeners decide what's worth supporting. Their verdict so far is that nothing has been worth your money. They discuss ridiculous ideas like a social media site for dogs, a toilet brush that reminds you to drink water, and thousands of offensive card games, hoping something will eventually be good.

Episode 480: The Farrar/Hale Group Oct 12, 2026 01:49:57 Hey where the hell is Luke?! Just playing. He went to a nice farm upstate. He can run around all day and play fighting games and drink all of some guy’s diet sodas without asking. Meanwhile it’s back to business for your two heroes, who are faced with the daunting task of cold reading a couple of paragraphs, making a reference to something else, saying a word wrong, coughing, being quiet

Episode 479: This Guy Knows His Wipes with Luke Taylor Oct 5, 2026 02:29:40 In what may be a YKS first…(AND LAST!?!), there’s a different butt in one of the chairs than the normal butt! With our trusty co-captain DB out bringing unwanted trays of drinks back to a table somewhere in Ohio, and a perfectly cromulent podcast host sitting on his ass in the guest bedroom, this week’s episode almost seemed written in the stars. Yeah, the star of Twitch.tv/TheLukeman and

Episode 478: When I Was 16, I Cold-Emailed Poopy Doopy Sep 28, 2026 02:05:27 Another Monday? How awesome is that! Well here in the physical world, it’s always a lot of fun to look around and see various ads and bulletin boards and things like that. So you’d have to imagine it’s even more badass and cool to have that same experience in cyberspace! And you’d be right! So I say to hell with it, let’s start getting obsessed with OnlyFans to the point that we make a sp

Episode 476: Ice Cream Has Always Been More Than Dessert Sep 14, 2026 02:04:46 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 inve

Episode 475: The Second Judy in Our Lives is Not a Scam Sep 7, 2026 01:58:57 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.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional

Episode 474: The Early Bird Gets the Data with Matty Real Aug 31, 2026 02:10:22 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 uploa

Episode 473: Soda Pop Hall of Fame with Nick Wiger Aug 24, 2026 02:00:04 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

Episode 472: My Epiphany Tub with Merritt K Aug 17, 2026 01:53:29 (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 thi

Episode 469: Pureed Pumpkin Is Quite Mild And Flavorless On Its Own Jul 27, 2026 02:03:24 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 mill
