In this episode, Bree and Mendy explore the hilariously awkward and slightly terrifying experience of Ellie, who got stuck in an elevator just before Christmas. They discuss strategies for handling awkward moments, particularly in confined spaces, and share their own cringeworthy encounters. Ellie’s story is a rollercoaster of emotions, complete with lo mein noodles, lipstick messages, and a heroic rescue by her best friend. The episode wraps up with a special message from Synthia Scott Kearney – and offers a valuable tip for anyone who might find themselves stuck in an elevator. (Thank you, Synthia!)
