And, much to our horror…we found the answer!!! Last week our friend Mark Brendle returned for a riveting discussion of John Carpenter’s The Fog. And the brainy guests continue this week as Dan O’Sullivan joins us for the Miketober finale – Bride of Frankenstein!

Hi, we’re Mike and JF, and we keep thinking about how our show lives at this weird intersection of totally absurd ideas and the rare ones that actually land. Today’s episode is probably the latter, but the path there has some real moments that feel like they belong on our show. I was laughing at an episode from earlier this month where we covered ice cube inventions and that guitar-playing gadget, and it made me think about how our whole thing is basically taking the "weird, dumb project" label and wearing it all the way to a functional product people actually use. Here’s an example of an email I’d send if I were some little oofy doofy ding dong who signed up for AI.Chimp influencer autoblasting service for $9999999/mo. Isn’t it GOOD? Don’t you wanna read MORE of them? Well I’d give you access to our inbox but then you’d know I still haven’t unsubscribed to those emails from David Shing yet and that’s really embarrassing.

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 for too long, forgetting to cut that out, saying “huh?”, making fun of someone better than them, looking at their phone while the other guy is talking then just repeating what he said back to him, knocking the mic flag off, looking at the ground, forgetting what day it is, and burping. Please help us! This is too much. 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.

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 Stores: The Podcast, that is! That’s right, Luke Taylor is finally getting to say “Welcome to YKS”, so let’s welcome HIM, by listening to this episode, enjoying it, and no one being mad at JF for any reason whatsoever!

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 special phone to block ourselves from using it, upload our IDs to some guy’s Dropbox so we don’t have to carry our wallet around anymore, and listen to one HELL of a podcast. It’s YKS! Or whatever else is on, not sure. 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.
