Description

<p>This week, we bring you a classic episode of YSCO: Jason asks Kat if she’d like to rent a person or if she would like to be rented out. Kat tells Jason about the first ever camgirl, Jennifer Ringley AKA Jennicam. Jason introduces Kat to debucari, the rent-a-fat-person business in Japan along with the other kinds of people you could rent, while Kat goes into the Jennicam’s origin story and how what she did lead to the start of camgirls. We talk a little bit human connection and how much we crave it, and we get a lot of math wrong. All in all, this was a very fun episode to make and we hope you enjoy.</p> <p>Shoutout to the sources we used for this episode.
