In this episode, Beth tries to call Steph out for failing to say \\u201cBless You\\u201d when someone sneezes. Steph asks why we say \\u201cexcuse me\\u201d or \\u201cbless you\\u201d in response to normal bodily functions. Why do we have a problem with our bodies doing what they need to do, when they need to do it? This is an honest conversation about politeness and social conventions that we take on without even thinking about them. Steph and Beth also discuss the ways in which politeness might lead us to apologize in insincere ways.
