Eric Tabach is out of ideas and is trying to go viral. 24 hour challenges are popular on KZbin and elevators are scary...so why not combine the two?

[@rachelkekipi1498]

Honestly I appreciate that you didnt plan it and it was a regular elevator that moved. People have done stuck in an elevator videos before including movies but this is a nice change. Sorry you got sick :-(

[@mynicknameisamber]

I said this before and I'll say it again, contact David Dobrik and have him choose something for you to do. It will get you views and followers and also maybe injured (sorry). Or you could plan some sort of competition between the LA and NY offices. But hey if you wanna continue doing this on your own I admire that a lot. I do feel kinda bad for laughing at your pain🙈😁
