Your Kickstarter Sucks is a show where Jesse Farrar and Mike Hale review kickstarter projects. They also have a patreon where they put out bonus episodes.

Lol, realized I messed up the title. It should be "Your Kickstarter Sucks".

Anyways the boys also have an about us page

quote:

Useless robots, minimalist shoes, and "offensive" card games up to the friggin' Pope's stinky eyeballs! (Ewww!) That's crowdfunding in a nutshell, but it's also our modern world - a vast creativity desert, populated almost exclusively by scammers and dummies, practically coded to prey upon our pathological consumerism, permanently on the precipice of collapsing onto itself. Plus, there's a shitload of USB cables everywhere.


But it's not all bad. Most concepts springing from the twin Idea Hells of Kickstarter and IndieGoGo are so obviously stupid that they'll never go into production -- saving valuable landfill space -- and many of them are laugh-out-loud funny. Well, they're the kind of funny that makes you do that ashamed chuckle you do when you're listening to a podcast in public. Sort of a stifled "Hfff" sound, where you clear your throat right afterwards and hope nobody noticed it. Hfffffffuhhhahem. I'm normal.


As much as it sucks, sometimes you do need to buy stuff though. Occasionally you may even just want something, which is also fine within reason. And bombarded as we all are every day by hyper-targeted ads, we'll all eventually find ourselves getting pitched an idea that sounds like it might be exactly what we're looking for...if only they can just raise a little money. If you've read this far, that might sound pretty daunting. But the savvy shopper can avoid disaster with a few simple tips.


1. Crowdfunding websites aren't stores, so you can't buy stuff there. Consider your pledges donations for potential rewards, and don't expect refunds.
2. Check existing retailers for the product you want to buy. If it's a good enough idea, it's probably already for sale -- cheaper, and you can get it sooner.
3. You have enough USB cables.


Finally, and most importantly, listen to Your Kickstarter Sucks. Mike and JF will tell you all about the nasty garbage you're missing out on, so there's no need to put yourself through the slog of browsing the sites, and they'll help steer you clear of the really tempting stuff you ultimately don't need (how many times to you expect your USB cable to be shot at anyway?) And hey, if you Hfffffffuhhhahem a little bit while you're at it, well, I don't know. That's probably good.

Mike being put on the spot or doing bits are some of the best content on the show.

There was some random bit from a year or so ago where JF talked about his daughter seeing him in briefs and asking why he was wearing mommy’s underwear and my wife still laughs about it

Thanks for starting this thread though, YKS is my favorite podcast

What are some "best of" episodes that you would recommend to someone starting the show?

The first thing that came to my mind was the ones where they pretend to be the doughboys, but that is way too meta for a first time listener.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

the doughboys eps are good and i really like 181 with the blocked party boys with whom they have a good rapport too

episode 8, fishy flip, is the classic ep i see recommended most often

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Love this podcast, love the hosts. Any ep that has Stefan Heck, Howell Dawdy, Chris James, or the Doughboys is gonna be an absolute banger.

Mike's story about washing his granny's legs while she watches Walker Texas Ranger was hilarious.

This episode rocked, I don't know why but I thought it was a recent one for some reason.

My favorite long-running subtle joke is how they'll replace "a" with "of" in common phrases

Long of go
Mort of della

etc.

Since it doesn't look like they shared it anywhere, I went ahead and made my own version of the YKS Sixpack bingo card described in the last episode. Admittedly I don't know what "Goovis" or "Fish Lord" are but who am I to question.
