Hear ye, hear ye! Well if it's anything like his last album, I think I'll pass! On today's programme, we're thumbing through Area Woman Magazine to read up on some Life Pro Tips, and we'll be talking about the guys I don't look like, which believe it or not, are all the wild and crazy and strange looking guys throughout history. Plus, we've got an update on using your balls like a penis, the shower routines of people who don't know how to shower, and finally figure out the right way to make a bicycle move around (shoot it??) It's one hell of a show, and I'm not just saying that because my livelihood depends on lots of people listening to it. I actually think it's good!

Episode 228: Crap and Pee Bags

E

We all crap and pee, sure. But what then? What then, I ask you?!?! Well there's an app for that, and oh yeah, the app is a bag. On today's show, Mike and JF are OFFICIALLY back on their bullshit, unless you don't like that kind of stuff, in which case it could not be any further from the truth. But! What they do have, whether you like it or not, is some ribald humor, informative discussion on various topics, and a friendship that will stand the test of time. Plus the crap and pee bags thing from the title of the episode. Check it out, gang, and if you don't love it, you can always listen to it anyway. Not everything is gonna be your favorite. Time to grow up! Want more YKS? Wow! Sorry to hear that? May I ask why not? Oh okay, yeah, I understand. Well, with all that being said, and by the way, I could not agree with you more, these guys are real scumbags. But with all that being said, they do offer weekly bonus episodes and more at the YKS Premium Patreon page. Obviously you won't be taking advantage of their awesome annual subscription discount, or seeing any video content or anything like that. But, as crazy as this sounds, thousands of people are enjoying this stuff every month, and it even makes for a great gift this holiday season. Yeah, really demented stuff. Sad, actually. But that's America for you. Today's episode of YKS is sponsored by BetterHelp. "I get by with a little help from my friends" - Unknown.

Episode 226: YKS Saves The Kids

E

Scam alert! Scam alert! It's time for Mike and JF to don their investigative journalism hats and read the comments on a weird Kickstarter to see if someone else thinks its a scam or not. And maybe it's not, who knows. Not us, that's for sure. On today's episode we fix the entire movie industry, put fireworks likers in their place at long last, and destroy the entire oil industry. Not the really really bad one. Just the kinda bad one. So not really a huge win by us but it's only Monday so give us some time and we will deliver you another big W later in the week. All that, plus a Neighbor Insight, and much much more, only on Your Kickstarter Sucks (name in description for SEO purposes).

BetterHelp: why get worse help when you could get BetterHelp? That's just what I think and I barely know anything about anything. But I wrote it down on my hand here so I'd remember it when I typed this up. And the handwriting's clear enough so I'm saying it. Sick of the uncomfortable waiting rooms? BetterHelp was, too, that's why they invented staying at your house and getting professional therapy there, instead of in the waiting room. Try it today at Betterhelp.com/YKS for 10% off your first month and safely 6 feet away kiss the uncomfortable waiting room goodbye! Also sponsoring today's show: Honey!

Episode 225: Uncle Jame's Communist Birthday

E

What if I told you...it was time to write the episode description, but you didn't want to? Would you shrink from the limelight and open another tab on the computer...or would you rise to the challenge, and write the best episode description of all time, a handful of paragraphs enshrined forever in the Episode Description Hall of Fame alongside the one that just says "Buh?" and the one with the copied synopsis from Avatar or whatever it was?

E

Now Loading...funny ass episode description...10%...20%...25%. ERROR?: Loading not complete? Proceed anyway Y/N? YYYYYYYAlright folks it's another episode of YKS and if you're anything like me you have to be wondering...what could the next 90 or so minutes of my life be like? Let's scour the old notes here for some hints. Well it looks like we drove Goofy's Truck around for a spell and went to Knight School, then figured out what Linux distro Hunter Biden had on his laptop (think we got it wrong? drop us an email from your custom keyboard!) Plus we got a new type of alcohol that really promises to change the game, another product aiming to put the humble plunger out of a job, and what essentially adds up to a lasagna-covered pipe bomb. ERROR: Memory overload. Forgot what computers say when they're done doing computer stuff. Continue...? Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle.

Hellgate imagines a one horse town, left for dead, first figuratively, then literally, and well a bunch of stuff happens and a lady goes crazy kind of. I'm not actually sure what it is about because it is god awful but we'll all be talking about it together, this Friday, only on the YKS Premium Patreon! Today's show is sponsored by NordVPN. I am using NodVPN, as I sit here and type out this copy, to unlock the world of entertainment television from the comfort of my home office.

Boy stuff sure is wild sometimes, huh? That's how I feel anyways. Well I'm not a doctor or even that smart of a guy so maybe I shouldn't say that. Stuff sure is, sometimes, huh? Actually I only did like 2 years of philosophy so maybe I shouldn't say that either. Point is, there's people out there who actually can tell you whether stuff is, or is wild, and if you ask me it's nice to talk to 'em. If you want a professional, open-minded, and most of all, CLASSY therapist, head on over to BetterHelp.com/YKS for 10% off your first month.

Sorry antivaxxers!!! It's time to listen to an episode of YKS: another Wowmazing! show from Dingo Products. On today's show, we're talking about how damn FINE I look in black jeans, plus a bunch of other crap who cares. These jeans, though, wow! They really hug all my curves, and are buttery soft. I've been turning them inside out in the wash so they don't bleed even though honestly that doesn't make much sense to me. They get wet either way, right? If the inside of the clothes don't get wet in the washer, what the hell am I even doing? Makes no sense. But that's what it says on the tag there. Man that's sad about Norm MacDonald, huh?

Episode 218: The Cult of JF

E

Another YKS? Zuhhh? Why don't these guys just quit while they were ahead! They were doing so great! I really love them but it makes me so mad that they won't stop doing episodes, and defeating my salty ass in the process! <---- Sadly, this is what many of our haters sound like today as we release another episode of our beloved podcast. Unfortunately we just can't help these people, as they're determined to not be happy by listening to our wonderful show! Assuming they can get over themselves, they've got some great stuff to listen to today: we've got the big toilet paper brand run down, Mike's wistful memories of his wooden car, and yes, finally, nice dogs telling jokes! So give us a Howdy Dowdy Doo and Gobbledy Gobbledy Goo, and pop the headphones in. It's another (sorry haters!)

Alright you all, listen up. And I really mean listen! Because I reckon that's what the show is all about. Today we're doing 6 Kickstarters...sike! Who cares! On this week's episode we're figuring out The Perfect Age, revisiting (apparently) some Tweets from Tattooine, and talking about all the things I personally haven't done. That takes up most of the show, of course, but we do have time to touch on what makes a shelf a shelf, ruining the value of our precious Pokemon cards, and helping grampy choke down his one medicine every day. Sounds like a real snooze but I promise it's fine. Seriously!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 214: Shrimp Shirt

E

Webster's Dictionary defines "riffing" as a verb which means "to discharge (a person) from military or civil service, especially as part of an economy program." And that seems wrong but I don't see a phone number on the website so I don't know what to do about it. This week on YKS we get an update on our old friend the Shrimp Diva, a grift for Tesla Turds that somehow seems to not be working, and we discover a gold mine in bad celebrity impersonations. Plus, a special visit from Millennial Bane. No whammies on this episode gang so get your clicks in while they're hot!

Did ya hear the news? Waiting rooms are a thing of the past! Now "Waiting..." is just the name of a movie we remember as being pretty funny at the time but which in retrospect probably has not aged that well, so we won't be revisiting it. Although Ryan Reynolds seems to be doing ok, so who knows. There's too much good movies and TV now for me to really go back and watch that one again. If I didn't get to it this year, it probably ain't happening. This guy knows what I'm talking about.

Plus, we have a campaign that we actually kinda like. Alright that looks like about the normal length of one of these so I'm gonna take off.

It's Monday, and you know what that means: we all cross our fingers and hope Apple Podcasts pulls its head out of its ass and delivers this week's episode to thousands of our adoring fans. Assuming it works as intended, this week you're gonna get a great show. Mike and JF are talking Kitchen Time, having a Footnotes Fight, and going Neil DeGrasse Tyson style on the goofs and screw-ups of classic slasher Friday the 13th. Plus, we thank America for all its opportunities, get paid to let a social media company spy on us, and finally talk (at great length, and with impressive detail) about AnimeTube, the Kickstarter that's pissing everyone off this week. This ep is so great that absolutely nothing could derail it, save for a malfunctioning RSS backend in the most popular podcasting app, which has no contact form or accountability whatsoever.

Episode 207: MudDump1!

E

Another day, another dollar. That's our hardhat, lunchpail approach to creating content, and it most certainly shines through in this episode, yet another instant classic. The 207th in a row. What we've got for you today, gang, is an update on Mike's tooth. And if for some insane reason you need more of a reason to listen than that, well, we also have about 6 Kickstarter projects that we make fun of, and they range from the silly (hand dryer for home use) to the quite frankly absurd (bone conducting mp3 sunglasses). But again, the main thing to remember about this episode is that we are talking about Mike's Tooth. To the extent, quite possibly, that I should have named the episode 207: Mike's Tooth.

This started out as an insipid metaphor but actually worked out pretty well. There's a good reason I do this for a living. Anyway, it's real, and it's fabulous, and it's called Honey. Check it out today at JoinHoney.com/YKS and help everyone in the world!Today's YKS is also brought to you by BetterHelp. You know what these guys are all about: helping you, but even better.

On today's show we've got the gene-altering project destined to keep humanity around for centuries to come (cool!), a beer-drinking gag gift sent forward into the future by about 40 years (wow!), and a movie dedicated to rehabilitating the public image of cops (finally!). Plus whatever else we talked about to take up the other 90 minutes of the show. I assume it's pretty good.Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle.

Episode 204: Better With Bacon

E

It's another YKS and my heart is full of Thanksgiving! On today's show we're talking about the REAL message of Seinfeld, whether the murder hornets are the last thing we need/were on our bingo card, and if we all had the same fun little magic kits when we were kids (sounds like we didn't!) Plus, shitting into a graboid's mouth, a stupid Reddit scam that actually won't work somehow, and the future of Rock 'n' Roll. If that ain't enough for ya then maybe the rest of the show parts I didn't mention will be. There's a lot in there!Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.For more YKS, check out the Patreon! Now with video! This week on YKS Premium...well, I'm just gonna tell ya up front. It's a nasty one. We recorded a commentary track for IndieGoGo independent film darling, The Dip Run. It's a heartwarming tale about a bunch of disgusting Proud Boys who drive cross country in an RV to pick up a load of dip. We probably bit off more than we could "chew" on this one, to be honest. These guys are dicks. But their movie sucks, too, so check that out on Friday. This week's show is sponsored by BetterHelp. For 10% off your first month, go to Betterhelp.com/YKS.

E

We get into Darth Maul's big red "thing", our crazy college drinking days, and the sad demise of the Slim Jim social media pages.

Episode 202: Got Mail?

E

Episode 202! They said it couldn't be done. On this week's show we're talking about eating freakin BUGS, why you don't see ol' Bigfoot around anymore, the unpredictable demise of Crackle, and so much more there's no way I could fit it into this description. I also do an approximately 5 minute monologue about exercise during which you may be able to hear Mike walking out of his office and down the street. This is one of those episodes that you just straight up listen to and enjoy yourself in the moment, ok? It ain't goin in the museum. No shame in that! It's normal to do this!For more YKS, check out the YKS Premium Patreon. This month, we're debuting YKS-Vision(TM), the name for our video podcasts I didn't clear with Mike in advance of writing this blurb. For $8/month, our Squeeze Louise patrons are getting extra bonus episodes every month AND accompanying video put together by visionary director Producer Dan. This week we welcome back "King of the Scams" Chris James to talk about all of this crap you see around nowadays, his latest victories in the ongoing Prank Wars, and his show's debut on Means (Mean?) TV, all in glorious 24 frames per second. Today's YKS is sponsored by BetterHelp. If I were in charge of BetterHelp, my idea for a slogan would be "BetterHelp: What's your problem?"

E

Gather round folks, it's time to hear The Amazing JF read from a list of common household groceries. Please have your pen and paper ready for this one! On today's show we find out whether or not DB's got bars, and also I have some notes referring to the following: "what's going on", "weird thing, 2 minutes", and "ether stank". I need to start taking better notes during the show so I remember what to write about in here. Hopefully some of that makes sense or seems interesting, because I'm not sure the 3-D tattooing preview application or the suppressing student loan utilization projects are download-juicers. So strap on a Bottcoola, cause this might be a slog. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

We've all heard of eggs. Hell, I had two of em this mornin. But I just kept thinkin...what if there was a metal kind that I couldn't eat??? And it was very expensive as well? Blammo! Kickstarter has something to say about that, my friends, and it's "buy this weird product"! Plus we got some great tunes from Mr Baloney, some help rehabbing those nutty Republicans, and a bunch of other stuff I forgot to write down as well.

OooooOOOOOoooooOOO! I'm the Ghost of Spencer Gifts! I'm rattling some glow in the dark plastic chains, and rubbing a hard plastic "personal back massager" very inexpertly onto the attic floor! I've been cursed to walk this low traffic corner of the local mall for 100 years as punishment for stealing a KoRn poster in 1998! I died when I swallowed some of the goop inside the display-only lava lamps. Alright that was fun. On today's show we've got the best food bowl for your Pampered Pet, a game for people who can laugh at plumber's butt cracks (everyone???), and a coat to protect us from negative energies. Finally!

Today on the program we're figuring out what type of sitcom can never be "canceled" (one that's never made), the reason Magic: The Gathering cards aren't treated the same as gold and other precious metals (because they're dorky little cards) and why it's so darn cheap to go on vacation to world class resorts (they're fake).

We've all been there. Sitting around in our early-30s (or late-30s, depending on which guy it is), trying to decide if we're going to be James Bond or Ross from Friends. Some of us are still deciding! And it's ok to take lots and lots of time to do that. I really believe this! On today's show, Jesse gets electrocuted through the computer screen, Mike abandons a bit, and there's an absolutely wild, you-have-to-hear-it LIVE scramble to turn the 5-pack into the 6-pack we all know and love. Plus we got fake doctors, fake soundbars, fake COVID-19 cures.....and TWINS!! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin.

Episode 189: It's A Woman Thing

E

Ohhhh folks! It's another episode of YKS. They keep doing these things so hopefully you'll keep listening to 'em. On today's show, we are in our Juice Groove trying to figure out what's the deal with cutting boards Jerry Seinfeld voice, enjoying objects d'art instead of watching the Idiot Box, and celebrating our Queen Nancy Pelosi with a bizarre gift that not even that nasty old wretch could enjoy. I figure, hey, unless you're a big time surgeon slicing people open and putting all kinds of stuff in there, you can probably listen to the show while you work. And you know, honestly, even those guys gotta take smoke breaks sometimes so get them in here too. It's fun for the whole family (minus the kids, grandparents, most parents, people who like church, board game guys, crypto currency investors, and the normal serotonin having crew. So basically just for dogs.) It's YKS: The Show For Dogs. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.YKS is sponsored by BetterHelp. Go to BetterHelp.com/YKS to see why 1,500,000 people are going on there to get professional counseling services. Hey I'll save you some time. One reason is they don't have those stinking magazines you get at the in-person counseling office. Yuck! Who wants to read that junk? Not me. I'll stick to never reading anything for basically my entire adult life, thank you very much. It's 10% off at BetterHelp.com/YKS, so that's basically where I'd go if I were you. And we're also brought to you by the folks over at HelloFresh. Let me tell you something about HelloFresh, brother. There ain't no better way to get simple, fresh meal kits delivered to your house. Oh, and it's good for the environment, oh and it's healthy, oh and...and..and...somebody stop me, I'm going crazy for HelloFresh! Anyhow the food is good, and you know because I ate it (I only eat good food). Give 'em a whirl at HelloFresh.com/yourkickstartersucks10 and use the promo code yourkickstartersucks10 for 10 free meals and free shipping.Last but not least, folks, we've got the YKS Premium Patreon feed. If you've ever wanted to get on there and see what happens when Mike and JF let their hair down, there's no better time to do it than right now. We're getting close to the thrilling conclusion of Jessuary 2021, an event unlike any other. Come and see what the likes of Jon Gabrus, Sarah Squirm, and renowned pilot hero Sully Sullenberger have to say about some of Jesse's favorite dumb guy flicks.**Certain guests cut for time Hosted on Acast.

Episode 188: Jessuary Year 2 Episode 3: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Jon Gabrus

E

All the characters from all the different works of literature come together with everything for a HUGE MOVIE! We're joined by one of the only guys on the planet who loves ridiculous movies as much as JF does, Jon Gabrus, to discuss when podcast guys are your actual friends, not reading too many books ever, and how bad it feels when some guy builds 8 boats if all you ever built was 1 boat.

Go to BetterHelp.com/YKS to find a professional, affordable counselor you can talk to over the computer. 1.5M people are already on there talking to counselors on the computer. Hell if you put that on TV it'd be some high ratings. Obviously they aren't going to do that, due to it would violate privacy. TV is kind of bad now anyway. I'm over it! And if you liked this episode of Jessuary, we've got even more available on the YKS Premium Patreon.

Also on today's show we've got the debut of 3 new characters: Mr. Food, Flip Flop Farrar, and The Michael Jordan of Coins.

Episode 186: Remote Daddy and Dirty Dawg

E

Covid-19 sucks so bad....I really want to put my crap on it. No, I'm serious. I want to wipe my butt with Covid-19!! Yeah!! I'm going to do this. I think I'll do it. And I'll tell other people to help me do it...to put my butt on Covid-19. Sick of this guy! We presume that is the thought process responsible for bringing "Fuck Covid Toilet Paper" to the world, but hell I don't know, I just read the stuff. I barely wipe my ass with any of the products we make fun of on here. Anyway also this week we have a new thing to make video chatting even more lame and annoying, an app for stopping fake restaurant reviews with the power of QR codes, and a way to keep hold of the GOD damn remote, which should be in the same spot every time. Why the fuck is it over there! Fuck! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.It's a big week, and I mean a BIG WEEK on the YKS Premium Patreon, folks! It's the start of Jesseuary Year 2, and we're kicking it off with a big, destructive monster who, despite his frightening outward appearance, is actually a gentle giant whom I love very much. I'm talking about Godzilla. Makes sense. And the guest is our friend Dan O'Sullivan who, come to think of it, I'm quite fond of as well. Join us for this kickoff mega episode on 2019's King of the Monsters and stick around all month long for some more great Jesse Movies and guests. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 185: Tug & Bean

E

Oh, you know we're buzzin! It's YKS baby! On today's show we've got the first-ever DOUBLE update on an old Kickstarter...some crap from the past, but twice! And of course the new crop of crap is here as well, on a big silver platter on a white linen covered table with wheels like you get in the fancy hotels. Oh boy I hope there's one packet of catsup and a very small container of too-hard butter in there. Either way it's going to be worth at least $95. Even if all that's there is a billboard yelling at DC politicians (in St Louis), an Inception-like look at the sovereign citizen movement, and a penis mobile. Plus a couple of emails, some voicemails, and about an hour of two guys goin "Now what in the darn heck is this!" Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.The YKS Premium Patreon is litty!!!! That doesn't feel good to type that, so you gotta know how much it really is popping off over there. This week, we're heading back to What The Fund World to find out what the hell is going on with all the crap we've bought on Kickstarter recently, and to figure out what kind of crap we need to buy in the future (not good!) And next month we're kicking off Jesseuary, with a slate of great guests and stupid ass movies only a Jesse could love. And there's only one place to hear it...say it with me now!

Episode 184: Wango Dango Fla’mango Tango

E

Yeee-haw! That's what I'd say if I were a big Texas cowboy type of guy. And here's another character I've been working on: "The Butler". Hello, ma'am. Welcome home for the evening. Your gown is in the foyer. I have a lot of these guys I never really get to do on the show because we're always talking about Kickstarter stuff. Which I guess is what I should be mentioning right about now. Oh well. Today on the show we have a new cube to talk about, which is great, even though I didn't get to do my Mad Scientist character. He goes like, Mwah haha haha. And we also have a Grumpy Cat LEGO type of thing. I did not have a character for that one, but I can make up one now. It's called, like, Clock Man. Well it looks like it's time to stop doing this character. Ok that was pretty good for being on the spot. There are some other Kickstarters on there too but basically just know there's like very little if any character work this week but next week Mike said we can do a lot more ok see ya.

Exec Producer PBostrom.Hey if you like us and you like our friend and frequent guest Chris James of Not Even A Show, you're probably gonna wanna take a peek at our new show Good Morning, Good Morning. It's over on Stitcher Premium, which is a different website to get our stuff than normal. That's because the show is not your typical YKS. We've put on our writing and acting and directing hats and planned out a stupid little world for our idiot characters to get fucked up in. And we've got some great guests on there as well: Nick Wiger, Carl Tart, Brendon Walsh, Longmont Potion Castle, and a bunch more of our friends drop by to fart around. So check it out and use promo code SUCKS for a nice discount off the top. Plus, on YKS Premium this week we've got the return of YKS Classic Segment Real or Fake...will Mike show his ass once again or, will he for some reason, triumph over the impossible odds of guessing correctly which dipshit products I have made up? Hey, either way, listening to him try is half the fun. Actually it's all the fun for you. There's no other fun than that. Listening to us is all the fun. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 183: Even Sharper Image

E

2020 was one hell of a year...emphasis on the HELL part! Still, I'd love to relive it for some reason with a half-assed board game. And if that gets boring, maybe I'll head over to the gaming PC to boot up some warmed over shit from circa-1999 Newgrounds Flash barf. Even though neither of those things sounds that good to do, I'm still going to do them. If you want to stop me, you're going to have to tone up your butt muscles, slap on your Billionaire Suit, and hit the Prayers App. Cat Toilet. Couldn't work in the last one but getting 5 in there is not too shabby. Get in here you old dogs, it's time for YKS! Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, and Mark Brendle.

E

It's 2021 everyone, where everything is good again. We still have to do the show though, so sorry about that! This week on the show we're talking about the long-awaited crossover between NES games and the world of Pawn Stars, a mask for people who want to look like a big egg, humping Disney characters, and using your balls as a penis. Plus we're one-upping the 100 Ideas list from a while ago with an even bigger list of even worse ideas. There are like 4000 of these things. They are terrible. Here's one: "A zip that if left unzipped for more than 1 min starts screaming" -- What's that? No idea. They aren't really too much better than that one on average.

Episode 181: Who Wants To Be An Extreme Millionaire w/ Blocked Party Guys

E

It's the end of the year as we know it....And I feel fine!!! It's from a famous song! It's a parody! Look it up! When it comes to finishing up the HELL YEAR!!! you know we had to do it big: deleting the episode we actually recorded by accident, then scrambling to replace it with the Premium episode we recorded the week before, and not having a plan for how to replace that. But you know what, I think it worked out pretty good. That's right, we brought our friends from Blocked Party back to see if they can redeem themselves after a pitiful performance on YKS Millionaire last time around. Did they do it? Did they win the million? Or did they bring shame to their family and podcast and Twitch streams once again? Also is Blippy there for some reason? Yep! Hell of a show, and a hell of a couple guys. Even Producer Dan is in on this one. What da!!!!Music for YKS is courtesy of the Hell Yeah Babies, Craig Dickman, Howell Dawdy, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Exec Producer PBostrom.This week's YKS is brought to you by NordVPN. In my opinion you would have to be certifiably insane to use any other VPN service. Hey man get in that padded room, or if you want the best VPN experience around, take it from your friend JF and head on over to the website I'm talking about. Plus, use promo code YKS to get 4 months free with a 2 year subscription. And that's the bottom line!
