Episode 166: Is This Your Handwriting?

Well folks, the freaking Hell Earth is on fire once again, we have a knockoff Cheeto in the White House, and on top of that, my damn Cowboys and Bucs lost! Is there truly no respite for the weary....is there no balm in Gilead??? Well, no. Not like I'm gonna move to Gilead anyway. Instead I'll be here with you all, talking about a children's book (for adults), an app that will disrupt the economy (as soon as it makes sense), and a joke product (hell, unless you wanna buy it!).

Episode 164: President TikTok

I am the LunchBorn, Master of the Midday, Knight of the Noontable, and heir to the Sandwich Throne. My sword is LunchKeeper, The Hunger's Bane, The DeliKiller, a salt-sharpened blade forged in the fires of a dirty Oster microwave. With it, I smite the villainous Growling Tummy and banish him from the Workrealm. Today on the show we've got a bunch of crap. Check it out.Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

Episode 163: God's Autograph

If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: stop whackin off to us! On today's show we've got a great bit based on something I found on my desk (don't skip ahead to it, let it come naturally; worth the wait), plus sort of the classic set-up of the show: 90 minutes long, not too many silent parts, Mike plays a fart sound at some point. Anti-Covid t-shirt, Trump Against Humanity, a nasty pimple popping thing, a psycho lady's dog talking to her, and more! Only on YKS. "YKS. Where else ya gonna find it?" #YKS #WhereElseMusic for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 162: Mike Forgot To Title The Episode

Oh no! It's almost time for the big episode to come out and we don't have a title! Let's see, let's see...I know I had a list of great episode titles around here somewhere. The Grouse of Mouse? Doesn't make sense. Fries with That? No, should have used that for the Doughboys ep. Poop Olympics? That's great but I think we already used it. Dang it! We don't have time for this. I'm just going to have to go with the next thing I pull out of the big Title Hat. I hope it's good, or people are gonna be really mad at me and not Mike for some reason. Okay. It's time.

Executive Producer PBostrom. This episode of YKS is sponsored by Wipers123.com. These folks take windshield wipers so seriously, it's actually hard to get them to focus on anything else. Hey, c'mon! I thought we were ordering food! What do you want? Are we doing Greek again? That kind of thing. But at the end of the day, we all gotta eat. And we gotta get wiper blades, too. So, my suggestion: try a vegan place (good for environment?) and head over to Wipers123.com, and use promo code YOURKICKSTARTERSUCKS for $10 off your order of SpeedSets. That's one of the wiper blade kinds you can get there, and from what I understand, they're pretty good. Anyway don't forget the promo code. Thanks.Also, check out YKS Premium on Patreon for more YKS -- ad free eps, up to 5 bonus eps a month, 4 newsletters, store discounts, whatever you could want basically.

Episode 161: The Ultimate Shoedown

Thank you! For! Your! Service! The undisputed Song of the Summer is here and, no, the singer didn't even have to talk about their "you know what" being "you know what". Hear it first on today's show before anywhere else, because no one else has the guts to play it! We treat you right (Dairy Queen). Plus: we slay some bastards, finally find a way to carry our fishing pole around on our motorcycles, and fill some guitars with liquid for whatever reason. Damn. That is awesome. Most importantly, DB says 2 things wrong that we will never let him forget.
