Episode 399: Almost the Last One

[The ads for this episode were…aww who cares…it’s almost over anyway]

Who’s getting canceled! I need to know this. It’s important to know who that is happening to! Because I assume it is a lot of people. Presumably it is, right? It’s only a few or several years later. And nothing has really changed since then. Plus there’s a game about it, which usually indicates some level of relevance. Yep. All in all, I’d say someone is getting canceled. God, I hope it’s no one I care about! The consequences, we assume, would be dire. 

Well anyway on today’s show there’s that kind of stuff. And some Catholic stuff (don’t write in saying you’re Catholic I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And some surfing stuff (don’t write in saying you’re a surfer I don’t want to hear none of that mess). And of course, our old friend Stringy. Stringy, we love you!

Why is there so much talk about yiffing rips on this one? Like a sexy fox boy just ripping his shit? Nice 👍

YKS has brought me more joy than any other piece of media I’ve ever consumed. If Mike needs a kidney, let me know.

You’re not allowed to end YKS - you belong to the patrons.

Look I need yify rips because sometimes those are the only 1080p versions of old movies

good chance there’s a better rip on PTP or usenet somewhere 👍 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CpfLE9Geh189rY_dPCLYE5Ugr0EhHHGY2Uf55exAeV8/ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dz8rPkF9jqdseilFGwPIOSQhNHWF_kXsq2N9xfmRPuQ/

JF, regarding your comment at 39:30 about listeners keeping track of all the voices: we do follow, and indeed schizophrenically shifting from Mikey Miles to the fat waiter to the plump Scotch girl to Dr. Now all in the course of 20 seconds is the whole point of the show.

Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, but what the hell is with the weird transition music?

Y
YKS · March 24, 2025

its transition music for ad breaks. which shouldnt appear here

Not only have I heard so much YKS that I instantly connected the lechuga/french champagne thing, at this point I honestly forget what Obama actually sounds like. He’s just Mike now.

Are the yify rips that bad!? I have downloaded many for movies I haven't watched yet. Sounds like I need more storage for better files :(

Y
YKS · March 24, 2025

they are typically lower quality because the encoder prioritizes smaller file sizes

Please start funnelling all 5 of my dollars to Mike’s doctor’s marina fees

I wonder if Mike’s dishwasher spray arms are fixed yet
