Episode Synopsis


The Meaning of Life is remarkably simple, cherish the people that are close to you. Unfortunately, ‘Close,’ in this instance, does not mean proximity. There are times when we are forced to share a small space with people we do not cherish. While most of our day can be spent in blissful isolation, our rooms, apartments, cars, and cubicles; regrettably there remains small human interaction in shared spaces. Spaces like subways, bathrooms, that one corner where you get signal, and elevators require a shared set of unspoken rules, namely: don’t speak. But should we acknowledge other humans? Do we speak the floor we want to go to or do we reach and risk touching another person? When the doors close on our little closets, is it a seven minutes in heaven? Or the suffocating eternity of a shared coffin?



Squeeze in with Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Caitlin Borek – as we traipse our hands along the columns of buttons and leap in the air to shake the Elevator Etiquette!



*Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble.
