## Resource

Mike said he was sick for this one. I don’t know. He didn’t seem sick to me. He seemed suspiciously at the top of his game. And thank goodness for that. Because we needed all his powers for this episode – one full of fun, mirth, and madness! And some Kickstarters as well. To wit: a doctor trying to become a content creator, our favorite Kitchen Idiots, a watch that doesn’t work, and more. Oh and just as a cautionary note, I’d tell you to watch out for Mike coughing and sneezing a lot on this episode, but he didn’t do it at all. So. Make of that what you will.  Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.
