YKS Premium S41E15: Kevin Bacon Becomes Kevin Bean

Katy Perry Teams Up With Controversial Niche Podcast To Promote The Importance Of Good Sleep

“I just love sleep,” said the “Firework” singer, “and as I embark on my 40s, good quality sleep has become even more important.” That’s why, she says, she partnered with Mike and JF of YKS – to make sure 40 year olds get better sleep when it counts – every single night.

“We’re really fucking stupid,” says host JF, whose simple smile belies exactly how stupid he really is. “Yeah,” added his partner Mike, “We don’t really get what’s going on.”

But Perry is no stranger to the limelight…and red light! “When I put on my recovery mask, the very next thing I do is start up an episode of YKS,” she says. “Sometimes it’s one where they’re drunk and depressed. And other times they seem almost bored with the premise of their own show, which doesn’t make a lot of sense.” No matter! “Either way, I’m sawing logs before they even get to the whatever pack. I don’t even know what that is!”

Neither do we, Katy. But we can’t wait to find out…in Dream Land!

In 2018 I was working at a cafe in Chicago and a dude did that short change slight of hand on me. I knew something was fishy but didn’t understand what had happened until end of day when register was about $100 off. Nice to know these podcast hosts think they’d also fall for it!

When I worked at sears I processed a cash return for about 200 dollars of gift cards before I realized there might be something suspicious about the transaction. And I also I did a return for an old lady's 600 dollar laptop without looking inside the box which didnt contain the same laptop at all. I'm really easy to scam especially when it's not my money and I dont care and i'm stupid as hell.

I live in Grand Rapids (MI) and Jelly Roll drove past me with his police escort while I was waiting for the bus. I'm so glad his concert was ass

This was a good one, I liked the part where they made fun of people who make a lot more money than they do.

I've been leaving my phone in another room instead of next to my bed. It's been a serious life changer. And honestly, nobody needs that much Reddit. Especially before bed.
