YKS The Mag #20

Coming in hot it's the YKS Snoozeletter Volume: Whatever! 20 I guess. Hey mike here with another weekly wrap up. Let's take a look at what we talked about on the show. Doesn’t that sound nice? Doesn’t that sound fun? :)

Trumpangutan

“If you're anything like us, the past few years have been a non-stop barrage of absurdity and ridiculousness - why not "lean in" to that trend?”

Haven’t been paying attention to the news and I didn’t watch the debates so I haven’t been privy to what “His Royal Cheeto-ness” is up to this week. Lemme guess he came out and said “ohh hey you know. I’m doing something you’re just gonna HATE so much!” and the democrats were like “Hey we’d actually prefer if you didn’t?” And then they did it anyway. And one of the guys had a fly on his head, as well. I’m just guessing!

Meanwhile I’m over here just shaking my damn head. Ain’t that always the way!

It’s Trumpangutan! The fun stuffed monkey that (sort of) resembles the current president. How fun is that. I guess you buy this and then sit it on like a shelf. And when people come over you can be like hey look at this. I guess that could be fun for you and your friend I don't know. I don’t know what people do.

“If this idea is successful, we'll branch out into other forms of mockery. Think of these as three-dimensional political caricatures: a Moscow Mitch that looks like a turtle, a ratty Guiliani, and for the more internationally-minded, a Vladibear Putin.

We believe there's a real demand for less-serious ways to make our voices heard, and with our diverse experiences, we think we've got what it takes to make this idea a success.”

Stupid idea. Already some other stupid thing. Take a hike.

I mean this is so stupid. Right?? Am I taking crazy pills -don't know. I mean this looks like shit to me! One of the use cases is like, watching movies. You sitting there watching a movie like that? That is booty sorry.

I think a year or so ago (no concept of time any more) we thought about getting some cameras and wearing them in the “studio” (Jesse’s basement) and releasing that on twitch or patreon and I thought that was kind of a funny idea and then i think we saw tim and erics gopro show which was actually filmed several years previous which is even more humiliating i guess. so we were like “Oh well we can’t do that” Another thing we were going to do for this other thing was, some gag where we were radio DJs and then I saw one of the WOHL things and I was so severely bummed for several days because I was like “is this too similar to tim and vics thing?” and I had to call Vic on the phone and basically tell him i love him and im sorry for having a similar idea as he and Tim, and he of course was like “Yeah you’re fine what are you talking about” and i felt stupid for making a big deal about it because we are nobody and who cares. Vic is nice though.

What was I talking about. Oh yeah, there are so many mounts for camera stuff. I’m no A/V guy so the whole shit is confusing to me. I hate it. I hate computers also. Give me a quill and some parchment any day. Thats whats up.

Silent Majority Golf Balls

I mean you gotta be a real dope to be into this type of shit! The BALLS (Lol) To be like hey.. We want to help ppl.. With golf balls! My word that is so stupid. I mean that is some stupid shit. I would honestly love to interview this person for the show. It would be an insane frost nixon type of situation and i would be frost, trapping this guy up  in his own words and exposing him for the hog he is.

“The idea for Silent Majority Golf actually started on the golf course, born out of normal everyday conversations among friends and strangers.  As most golfers know, the real conversations today happen on the golf course.  Whether it's about life, politics, culture, the golf course has always been the sanctuary where you can express your views without fear of being judged or ridiculed.”

Get a life, dummy!

Anti Social Skills

“Introducing Anti-Social Skills, the perfect way to make an A.S.S. of yourself, whether you're socially distanced, or together (safely) with friends. We built this game from the ground up to work great in person or over video chat, like Zoom. Then we hired seven of the funniest comedians working today to write the funniest party game of all time.”

Okay so this one was Jesse’s favourite one, he said. “Db” he said to me “db don’t put that on the six pack © I said jf this one's a stinker! This one stinks to high heaven! This one stinks on ice!

Improv guys are like the pod people from invasion of body snatchers to me. Sorry if you're one of them I can't vibe w you. I also flat out refuse to elaborate on what I mean.

PastApp

“Learn and create special pasta dishes with the minimum you have at home and amaze your friends who have suddenly arrived. That's it !”

Man I thought this was something entirely different. I thought this was an app that taught you how to make pasta. I mean it IS! But it isn't. I was like damn it's gonna teach you how to roll the pasta into pasta shapes and such but no it's a thing where you punch in what ingredients you have: pesto, garlic, olive oil and TYPE of pasta which to me is  kinda like, damn i have the type of pasta, i know how to  make the type of  pasta dish that requires this type of pasta.. You aren't gonna surprise my ass by telling me I can make lasagne if I have lasagne noodles. I bought the damn shit!

Anyway I thought this one was great

Kibus - Healthy dog food cooking device

“An automatic, convenient device that cooks healthy, natural and minimally processed dog food. A device designed to meet the needs of demanding dogs and their caring parents at the same time!”

Jesse has somehow never heard of freeze dried food for dogs, which I find hard to believe because I thought that was all he ate. You get the little freeze dried nasty meat and tear it up in the bowl and put a little water on it and give it to your little guy or lady and they shit it out later on bingo bango.

Anyways this is one of “them things” where your opting into an ecosystem and as Jesse said on the ep what happens if it breaks yadda yadda etc etc. Maybe its rock solid! Stefan (Canadian friend of show) has one of those automatic pooper scooper guys.. How long until that thing gunks up huh? I’m askin! Hell maybe I should buy one of the goddamned things. Should I buy one? I’m askin!

Alright that's the newsletter sorry
