You Should Check Out

Howdy! This week on YSCO, we bring you two tortuous topics: medieval torture and the incomprehensible movement of #corecore. Jason lists some of his favourite medieval torture devices and techniques and the crimes you would have had to commit to deserve such a punishment. In a first on this pod, Kat presents a topic that has Jason completely baffled. Corecore, an artistic movement taking over very specific parts of TikTok is something akin to Dadaism, but the Gen Z version. It’s hard to define but listen to Kat try! Either way, this was a fun episode and we hope you think so too!

Happy New Year! In our first episode of 2023, we are back with brand new topics. Kat brings us to 1976 to the very intense, very drama-filled making of a legendary album; Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. She speaks about the betrayal, the relationships, the rampant drug use, while Jason dips his toe into the world of duelling. Like when a man offended you so you challenged him to s gun duel at sunrise? Y’know, the good ole days. We hope you enjoy our tangents and the very specific topics we’ve presented.

In our last episode of the year, we decided to try our hand at the Friendscast again. This time, we’re a little less drunk and a lot more focused. We explore an array of topics; some big, some small, some disturbing, and some cute. 2022 has been quite the year. It was beautiful and it was stressful but we’re still glad it happened. Thanks for sticking around. We love you and we appreciate you. Here’s to more wild things to check out in 2023!

This week we bring you a new kind of episode, one where we both get to talk about one thing we like. Today, it’s HBO’s highly anticipated House of The Dragon. We discuss everything we like and didn’t like about the show, which dragon we liked best, and how dramatic it all was. We hope you like this special episode. We had fun trying something different!

How many times can we say that “we’re back”? Yes, we know, we fell off. Blame life! Blame capitalism! Blame literally anything else except for us. But guess what, we ARE back with the weird content you’ve been waiting for. Jason dives into the cinematic universe of Dhar Mann Studios and their fake deep, “morally superior,” life-changing content. Kat and Jace even write their own Dhar Mann script in real time! Then Kat talks about the hottest, most dangerous cosmetic procedure one could get today - the BBL aka Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. We have a lot of fun this episode, and we missed you. Hopefully we’re done with breaks. We hope we peak your interests and make you feel like checking these topics out.

Hello! Welcome to the very unlucky 13th episode of You Should Check Out! It's only unlucky numerically, not realistically. This week, Kat and Jace are the chattiest of Cathy's as they spend a lot of time talking about cold brew, the human body, other podcasts, and so much more. Jace starts us off by diving into the process of plastination and exposes us to literal body art; while Kat discusses Russian spies, specifically by looking at the biggest spy ring since the Cold War referred to as the Illegals Program.
