In this episode of Put Em on the Couch, we ask the 20,000 dollar question" Is College Worth It?

This week, we kick off with a striking moment from Harvard’s 2025 Commencement: President Allan Garber’s opening remarks, which sounded a lot like a subtle—but pointed—response to former President Trump and ongoing political attacks on higher education.

From there, we dive into the bigger question: Is college still worth it? Or is it, as some critics argue, an overpriced scam or outdated rite of passage?

Jason and Nelson go head-to-head on the deeper value of college—not just as a place for learning, but also for growth, connection, and challenge. We unpack: 🎓 The rising skepticism around the cost and purpose of college 💡 Whether higher ed truly leans "liberal" or is just being mislabeled 🧠 The difference between critical thinking and political indoctrination ❤️ The social side of college—lifelong friendships, relationships, and more

This episode explores the nuance often missing from the “college debate” and asks: Can multiple things be true? Can college be flawed and valuable? Overpriced and transformative? Tune in as we challenge assumptions, push each other’s perspectives, and get into what college really means today.

Season 3 kicks off with a bang as hosts Jason McCoy and Nelson Beaulieu dive deep into the mysterious world of the papal conclave following the sudden death of Pope Francis. From Vatican politics to wild conspiracy theories, no question is too strange — or too sacred. Can you bet on the next Pope? Did it really smell that bad in the Sistine Chapel? And what’s the deal with the rumored female Pope? Inspired by the new film Conclave, this episode is a bold, irreverent, and thought-provoking look at one of the world's oldest institutions.

Ever wonder why females orgasm, what’s really going on with Grandma, or why the penis looks the way it does? Curious if luck is real, or whether cursing is actually all that bad? Well, get ready—because we’re unpacking it all on the couch.
