The year is 2025. Someone is writing “The World’s First” on their little piece of crap they invented and not wondering why someone else didn’t get to it first. This will presumably never stop happening. I mean why, would it? When you can cop a mad deece six figgies off a picture frame with a speaker in it, why would you ever iterate on someone else’s design? You’ve got the magic damn touch! Your ideas are divine! Actually, hey, since you’re noodling on stuff, I got a problem. I’m wasting like 20 hours a year on…no, not moving carpet around. It’s a coffee thing. You know what, lemme call you back. I have a Pickleball game starting in a minute. Did you know it’s the fastest growing…oh you hung up.

Wow! With apologies to our friends from What A Time To Be Alive, I admit this has been one heck of a week to be saying that phrase! For one thing, it looks like Taco Bell is bringing back some of their classic menu favorites, plus I’m just getting over a small toe injury from a couple of weeks ago, and there’s a new game out that I’m not going to play but I bet some of my friends will. Busy, busy, busy! But as crazy as this has all been, I know I’ll be waking up tomorrow and starting another week off with a bang. Well, I guess that doesn’t make sense if you don’t know I wrote the episode descriptions on Sunday. Oh gosh…now I feel like I gotta start all over. SUNDAY: That day you flumpity foo…

Down…set…hut hut…Podcast! It’s football season and oh man that’s funny I just saw Fireman Ed on TV. I thought he was giving it up because they didn’t put him on the Jumbotron enough. What happened, Ed? Couldn’t come up with anything else to do on Sundays? Looks like he assaulted a guy as well. Check out his Wikipedia page picture also. Funny. He is, of course, the most normal NFL fan. Anyway, congrats to all sports fans on this auspicious occasion! Let’s celebrate with a little Kickstarter action. In today’s trenches, we’re going head to head with a brand new information network and platform, tossing up a hail mary with a new popsicle convention, and dancing in the endzone with a horny comic book. Don’t sit on the bench…sit on your ass, and listen to the show!

How to Become A Millionaire with ChatGPT, from the guys who need $150. Alright, look. It’s getting to be a little bit like when that psychic hotline went under, and everybody said “hey didn’t they see that coming?” which is hack, of course. But…I dunno. Maybe it’s right! Let’s have a little space for the Reddity logic guys. Maybe if you can make a million bucks off ChatGPT, you should have to do it first, instead of asking me to help! What’s even the excuse…you didn’t feel like it? Well I don’t either! Let’s just both enjoy being poor and stop trying to sell e-courses. Plus, there’s a Christmas Alien named after poop. What, you didn’t see that coming?

Together, you’ve heard them 14 times on YKS, and on their streams and podcasts, perhaps millions more. But today is not about that. Today is about…pumpy. Actually I forget what that was. So let’s say that today is about Kickstarters. Even though it rarely is, of course. And as you can see by the prodigious runtime of this episode, it had very little chance to be the exception proving the rule. But what if it were? Well you’d probably hear about a celebrity’s crazy vanity project, a guy’s crazy book, and some crazy fake science. And there would be 4-5 of us going crazy thinking and talking about those things. Plus! Some very normal things as well. Just kidding.

What if masculinity could be redefined? Well, I don’t know. I don’t really know what that means. It sounds like something Tom Brady would say on a Sunday morning in a watch commercial while I’m ambling to the kitchen to get more chips. But now knowing it’s some dummy sitting in front of his TV cords mumbling about eating vegetables or something, well hey, now I’m ready to sign up to go to some weird man yelling camp! On today’s show, as AuGuest continues, we’re joined by a man truly worth listening to…if you’re not on the other end of a prank call, that is. It’s Chris James! And he is not wearing poopy diapers. He asked me to say that.

YKS Premium! Weirdly enough, this month it’s the place you go to hear Mike and JF with no guests! Actually I guess that’s not that weird. That’s what it normally is. Except for like 2-3 movie months, or when we ask one of our friends to be a talking poop. But there’s a lot of good stuff over there and I’m not just saying that because I pour my heart and soul into it!!!! It’s everything I have!

They call it AuGuest…but they should be calling it “Aw yeah! This month is “Au” – the periodic symbol for the element gold, that is. Because the guests, the Kickstarters, the production, and hey even the hosts themselves…they’re as good as gold! But unlike gold, you won’t find something this glittery – although not everything that glitters is it – in the ground, but rather in the digital files of my very device, which is itself “grounded”, but when I listen I feel as high as a kite! And the kite, of course, my dear friends, is as golden as the podcast itself, and the wonderful friends I’ve made listening to it – that’s right, I’m talking about you.” But that wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt, so they don’t.

What do you get when you cross August the month with Guests, the people you have on your show sometimes? Well you get a fresh pair of eyes on the interesting yet crazy Kickstarters of the day, a ton of laughs, and oh yeah, you get AuGuest, the brand new concept rolling into YKS just this very month! Join us and inaugural guest Stefan Heck as we take a look at computer mouse storage, a music pleasure insertion toy, basically the chairs from WALL-E, and some Kickstarters that Stefan brought as well. Wait, I just remembered he didn’t bring any. What the hell!? Why didn’t he do anything? Freakin numbnuts.

Listen to Stefan’s show Blocked Party, now exclusively on Patreon, at Patreon.com/BlockedParty, and hey why not watch him live every Monday - Thursday at Twitch.tv/GoOffKings?

Gimme the clicker! I wanna watch YourHometv.com! Ah crap. All they’re playing is this stupid podcast. It looks like it’s hosted by 2 total morons. Heh. They’re ugly as well. And they seem depressed but not in an interesting way? Shit hold on they’re gonna discuss Kickstarter…that feels fresh. Let’s see what they got. Well it’s 45 mins in and they haven’t said anything about the Kickstarters. They’re mostly talking about doctors appointments and TV remotes. Well I checked the guide and apparently they’re gonna eventually get to bible memes, 1000 bad jokes, and a real sicko’s attempt to grift a luxury car. Evidently  there’s an actual good idea at the end. But I’m not waiting over 2 hours just to hear that. I gotta go play with my bath toys.

I just want to say before anyone listens to this episode…I LOVE true crime! Podcasts, Dateline, asking Chappy Tea to embellish the grisly details of case files I looked up with a hacked PACER account…I can’t get enough. So when I imply in this episode that I think the cottage industry exploiting the victims of physical violence for t-shirt sales is horrifically sad and beneath contempt, I was talking about something else. Or I got confused or I was taken over by a brain thing or something. I got all messed up for a sec. It’s cool though. Anyway what else?

Oh yeah. Farts are funny and I’m a ninja pimp. Enjoy the episode
