Brian and Simon discuss the different levels of parasocial relationships and how it relates to Michael's project. Then, Shelbi, one of Michael's real life friends who met because of the stream, joins us to discuss her experience with the project. Finally, Michael and Ethan join us live "in studio" from New Jersey (and Simon's living room) to discuss parasocial interactions relating to Michael's fans, and whether or not Michael expected to impact so many lives.
