| 0:07.0 | It's the show that helps you make sense of things that would otherwise baffle you, like for example, |
| 0:17.0 | Why does that one shoe hide in the back of the closet like that? |
| 0:20.0 | Is it afraid of you or does it just need some alone time? |
| 0:23.0 | Or maybe it's ashamed of something. Something terrible that only a shoe would be ashamed of. |
| 0:27.0 | The answer to these and other questions right here, right now on the Eric Matex's show. |
