Gen Z Will Pay Good Money

About this episode

Josh defends the boyfriend chair while discussing an alligator's plight and the emotional impact of the movie Coco.

The boyfriend chair is an underrated institution and Josh is here to defend it — the quality of the chair, it turns out, varies enormously depending on which shop you walk into. Meanwhile, a man named Tony has spent a year trying to reclaim a 12-foot alligator named Albert from authorities who seem pretty determined to keep him, and the movie Coco apparently reduces two fully grown men to open, unashamed weeping even when they've only known each other a month. The headphone jack is technically still alive on your laptop and your TV, which makes the nostalgia grief feel a little premature, and there's a very specific kind of social humiliation discussed this episode — the handsome guy who calls you "champ" in a way that nobody else will ever believe is an insult.
