Jesse Farrar & Mike Hale 476 Episodes Aug 17, 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 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 471: I Don't Want To Teach MyBobo Anymore with Kendra Wells Aug 10, 2026 02:00:18 Wanna watch this episode? Check it out here!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. Buy Kendra’s new book, Real Hero
Episode 470: Welcome To The Future Of The Baseball Hat with Chef Kevin Bartelt
Episode 470: Welcome To The Future Of The Baseball Hat with Chef Kevin Bartelt Aug 3, 2026 02:14:18 Deep in the Realm of the Fruglins…our intrepid hosts form a new idea. Regular YKS, but with guests! And with that, AuGuest is born. I guess that happened last year, but we’re doing it again. And this time…it’s personal. (?)  Check out Chef Kevin’s Patreon for his new show, Let Us Cook!

Episode 469: Pureed Pumpkin Is Quite Mild And Flavorless On Its Own
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
Episode 468: The Crowdfunding Junkies
Episode 468: The Crowdfunding Junkies Jul 20, 2026 01:38:41 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
Episode 467: The Diaper Community
Episode 467: The Diaper Community Jul 13, 2026 02:04:48 Look, I’m tired as hell for this one. Let’s just agree that we talked about pee and poop the normal amount, we weren’t too mean, it was just boring enough to go to sleep to but not so dull that you wanna unsubscribe from the show, and we obviously don’t have depression. Plus, something funny happened, and Dan/A Listener/person experiencing mania made a surprisingly salient point. And nobo
Episode 466: They Call Him Tater Salad
Episode 466: They Call Him Tater Salad Jul 6, 2026 01:48:39 All I want to talk about is the shit wizards…but I know that I can’t! Obviously they would use a big turd as a wand – but, again, I can’t talk about that right now. I need to, instead, focus on the important things, such as a podcast about Apple products. So that would probably be about the iPad or whatever, and who came up with the buttons on it and so forth. That’s one episode of it. An
Episode 465: Welcome to Congleton Town
Episode 465: Welcome to Congleton Town Jun 29, 2026 02:01:33 I hate my headphones. There’s no pictures on them!! Or it can’t take pictures, or something! The point is, I really hate my headphones. And I think the only way to solve this problem is to not buy headphones from one of the, like, 3 or maybe 5 headphones companies in the entire world, but just some guy. That will improve my life! And speaking of improving my life, does anyone have a solut
Episode 464: Take the Gut Quiz
Episode 464: Take the Gut Quiz Jun 22, 2026 01:55:08 Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not “I need food” or “I need a job” but “Take the gut quiz!”. What could this mean? Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

Episode 463: Cooking Is Not Just A Food
Episode 463: Cooking Is Not Just A Food Jun 15, 2026 01:49:05 What is this episode even about? Well, what do YOU want it to be about? With just a few taps. You can personalize your YKS episode to be about your favorite topic, customized for the day of the week, or even make a super duper special one for your birthday! That’s right, an episode of YKS all about your special day. Mike opens up the episode (how unusual!) by singing “Happy Birthday”, usi
Episode 462: Chasing the Perfect Hot Dog
Episode 462: Chasing the Perfect Hot Dog Jun 8, 2026 01:56:57 Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it’s making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they’re raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don’t know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention th
Episode 461: Your Gerbil’s Horoscope
Episode 461: Your Gerbil’s Horoscope Jun 1, 2026 02:04:59 Oh ho ho well if it isn’t probably the 4th or 5th time I’ve started an episode description out with “Oh ho ho”. It’s weird because I do not talk like this in real life. I’ve probably never said those words in that order in my whole life. But there’s something about putting pen to paper that really brings out my “silly side”. And if you like silly, you’re gonna love this episode of YKS, wh
