Season 1: Episode 25...Some rules don’t live in handbooks—they live in the looks people give you when you break them.

In this episode of Downright Mindful, Matt and Paul unpack the unwritten rules of life:
– Don’t talk to someone with headphones on
– Step to the side of the hallway if you’re going to chat
– Don’t stand right beside someone at the urinal
– Let people off the elevator before you get on
– Don’t wear white to someone else’s wedding

But it’s not just about manners—it’s about meaning.
Matt asks Paul if he’s ever broken one of these rules and “frozen the room,” leading to a quiet, powerful story from Paul’s time as a church deacon.

The episode closes with a dive into nostalgia:
What do we miss from “the way things used to be”?
And what are we glad to leave behind?

Episode Description (SEO Optimized for YouTube & Spotify):

Season 1: Episode 23...This week, Matt is flying solo while Paul takes care of some things—but don’t worry, he’ll be back next episode! In the meantime, we’re diving into listener comments and some wild stories from Matt’s days as an investigator.

First up: the time he was undercover and sort of ran from the police (but not really). Then, the slowest foot chase in history—a pursuit so slow it almost wasn’t one at all.

To wrap things up, Matt gives a brief breakdown of three high-profile true crime cases:
🔎 Gabby Petito
🔎 The Idaho College Murders
🔎 The Murdaugh Murders
And an honorable mention to Up and Vanished for true crime fans.

A little chaos, a little crime, and a lot of stories you won’t want to miss.
