India Pale Ale: a godsend for thirsty British sailors; a cliched standard for craft beer. Gone are the days of repetitive American pilsners, welcome to the new age of repetitive micro-brew. Don your beer-goggles as Mat & Veronique hop to the challenge.

Space, the final frustration. In the days before the legally mandated six-foot personal space, mankind was plagued by social ineptitude. Sharing places with other humans generates room rage. Get too close with Mat and Veronique as we invade the subject.

Paper beats rock, but water destroys paper. Paper straws work better as paper-mache than beverage delivery. Is there no better vessel for transporting delicious liquids to our mouths? Quench your curiosity as Mat & Veronique funnel truth directly into your ears.

Wire clothes hangers – inexpensive alternative or closet catastrophe? At first glance, the space-saving simplicity may seem convenient, but these garbage-bag shredding monstrosities may be more scourge than they’re worth. Don’t get hung-up on logic while Mat & Veronique unbend the twisted truth.

The Venn Diagram of kid’s food to junk food is just one circle. Counting-calories, dressing-on-the-side, anti-oxidant super-foods are boring fads for grown-ups.

Historically, wrist watches have benefited mankind by counting the day in units of time. But now, in this digital era, days are measured in steps.

In a bygone era, the world used physical tokens to transfer money. Precious metals and woven-cotton might be handed to a merchant for goods. Somehow, in an era of Venmo and Apple Pay, some vendors cling to these archaic ways. Cash in on Mat and Veronique’s four cents.

Modern consumerism demands that everything be put in a bag. Two bags where possible. Let’s travel through time to discover the very first carrying device. Contain yourself as Mat and Veronique envelop the issue.

Basic-human-scent is not an option. Soap, shampoo, deodorant, and detergent all have unique scents. What are we, as humans, supposed to smell like? Join Mat and Veronique as we follow the scent from the top of Alpine Mist to the bottom of Ocean Breeze.
