Episode 398: The Fellanded Frergrowths

[Episode 398 on the YKS Premium feed…the podcast advertisers HATE!!!]

It’s finally time to discover the future of bathrooms. What is it? What will it be? A toilet with a battery? That weird grilling situation from the old Home Improvement episodes? A sink with “good vibes”?? Nope! It’s got to be a bidet with a sticker of “The Dude” from Big Lebowski on it. If that’s what the future of bathrooms is, then get me that damn DeLorean! I’m going back to the past!! Is that what happened in that movie? I honestly don’t remember. I hate Back to the Future. But this isn’t about that. It’s about other stuff.

Like an incomprehensible AI show, an inscrutable AI text messaging app, and a downright confusing conspiratorial book pitch from a guy I wouldn’t trust to find an Easter egg, much less a missing person. Easter’s coming up. Don’t forget to get your eggs. Oh God, I just realized…Easter’s gonna cost a fortune this year!! Uh yeah, this IS the worst timeline. And me without a DeLorean again…don’t that beat all! (Did they do multiverses in those movies? I honestly don’t know)

The missing 411 guy is absolutely a psycho but not the “sound of freedom” type of psycho

I have been pilled on toilet paper. The problem is not the disposal but the clearcutting of old growth forests companies like Scott do in Canada. All for toilet paper!

It’s seems JF has contracted the Nick Wiger mind virus that makes you obsessed with making up parody cover songs

I saw The Master in a theater last year and briefly thought I’d mistakenly wandered into a screening of Mr. Bean’s latest zany adventure judging by the wall to wall hooting and hollering!

I actually fuck with missing 411. It’s about Sasquatches and aliens luring hikers in national parks to the nether realm so not really the Sound of Freedom kind of right wing brain rot. The movie, “Missing 411: the Hunted” is pretty tight. A lady was bow hunting in her back yard and saw the predator. Also the his YouTube updates are pretty good, like the Trial of Tim Heidecker kind of thing about how the scientists are collaborating with skunk apes to discredit him.

Also George Knapp is a predominately a UFO researcher who happens to do the weather or something at CBS LV. He famously wrote a book about skinwalker ranch.

As a lifelong NASCAR fan, I was waiting excitedly when you started talking about Dick Trickle's death for you to find out how he actually died. The payoff 👌🏼

One time at a Panera i asked the cashier if management got any of the tips. She said “no” and i said “oh, good” and tipped on the ipad. Then i looked up and saw “Assistant Manager” on her name tag

I asked the workers at my local Papa John's if they get the tip or does PJ's get the tip. They hold me that they get 100% of the tip. I don't tip for carryout unless its a place I go to all the time, where the employees recognize me. They deserve a tip for having to make my pizza half an hour before they close.

The new transition music was loud. Not saying it's Dan's fault or anything.

I know I'm a child, but I had a good laugh, hearing the name Brian Laundrie, again.

During the winter of my life I found myself walking through a desolate landscape, rolling dunes of wind blown sand led on past the horizon in all directions, stretching out and away with monotonous certainty like the calling infinite void, the colourless vacuum of nothingness, and as I walked in this place, wind whipping my face and sucking the breath from my mouth I saw a dullish glinting in the distance. Fighting my way towards it through the unceasing wind, my curiosity piqued for the first time in for what seemed like a lifetime, I made my way towards it, to where it lay, half covered in the sand and dust, nestled in a crack, I could easily have missed it. I hesitantly picked it up and dusted it off, holding it up in the light, could it be? I wondered, yes! It was! It's another episode of hit podcast your Kickstarter sucks with Mike Hale and Jessie farrarrr

I looked into the missing 411 stuff like over a decade ago and found myself listening to an interview with David Paulides and some other podcast dude, and David got real mad when the other guy brought up bigfoot lmao. It's like he knew this shit would get popular with the much bigger demographic of sickos that obsess over child kidnappings if he hid his bigfoot theories at first

Mike absolutely cackling up when he read that Mr. Trickle had killed himself was very funny
