Feeling grief over Matthew Perry's death? Me too! Many of you wrote in and asked me about this. So, today I chat all about why we (especially Millennials) love FRIENDS so much (hint, it is kind of one of the last shows that captured 90s nostalgia even well into 2004 when it ended), why we bond with movie, TV, book and other characters, the psychological research and hidden benefits of parasocial relationships, in addition to the drawbacks of them. I end the show by answering two listener's questions, one about feeling stupid for mourning Matthew Perry's death and in the other, I answer "how bad is it to fall asleep watching TV?"
If you don't care about Matthew Perry or FRIENDS, skip to minute 9 of the podcast.
