Episode 418: Fun Fact Ketchup Was Once Medicine w/ Stefan Heck

[nice job numbnuts you’re missing out on the ads!]

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?

I know we're not supposed to do this, but I've been going back, listening to old episodes. And it's thrilling to hear the first mentions of such storied lore, like the Author Clock and Cool Cat Saves the Kids. It's as if I'm experiencing again, but for the first time, how Han Solo got his name.
