Grumble Goat Mat Labotka & Veronique Hurley

A shrill noise in the night invokes an immediate sense of danger. A horn calling out across a valley will rally the cavalry to prepare for war. A clanging bell at the town gate will rouse the inhabitants to a common threat. And a wailing siren of an ambulance will awaken everybody in a six block radius for absolutely nothing. The modern civilization does not require assembling every able bodied villager to face emergencies. In our unending wisdom, we have built specialized task forces to deal with impending disasters, so why do we still bang the drums of war for every false alarm? Invading armies are not trumpeting their arrival, we’re all being constantly alerted to every sprained ankle and speeding ticket. Gather your pitchforks with Mat and Veronique as we mob the square with our fellow countrymen to oblige the call of Sirens!

Since the dawn of Humankind, we have had a proud tradition of Hunting and Gathering. While some still cling to the hunting of game, most of society has moved into the game of hunting for deals. Deals are a great way to save resources in order to Gather more things. Gathering is our way of keeping score in life. It has become our life’s goal to gather more and more and more things. We collect silverware that has a trace of actual silver. We collect porcelain knick-knacks of chubby children doing mundane things. We collect T.V. Guides, sports equipment, old paint cans, and splintered furniture. We must continue to Gather on the slim chance that any of these broken things may be useful or fixable at some distant, hypothetical, imaginary future where outdated, rotting, useless artifacts suddenly become necessary again.







But when the house is full of useless garbage, where do we put all our other useless garbage? Let’s take a trip with Veronique and Mat to someone else’s garage that we rent out to keep a distant ownership over in the Storage Locker.

The exchange of money for goods and services is the cornerstone of civilization. Goods have value, and money has value; and often, service has value. And America recognizes good service. We tip everyone. We recognize good service so hard that when we receive bad service we still tip for good service. Tipping is so ubiquitous in America that the tax code reflects tips, Corporate pay scales have expected tips in the job listing, Minimum Wage is lowered for tipped employees, and service counters have more tip jars than cash registers. Now, in the modern era of contactless payments, the whole computer swivels around for you to input a tip… before even any service has been rendered. And when we have to pay a tip before any motion happens, is this not fully a bribe? Choose a percentage before Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Brian Reilly – consider your request for service as we sit in judgement of how much you’re Tipping in Advance!

Humanity has a natural inclination toward gossip. It’s an instinctive need that we’re constantly up to date on what’s happening. Who is getting married? Who is fighting? What sensationalist embarrassment is the king going through? And in the modern age, we have the technology to beam gossip directly into our eyes from anywhere in the world, heck, even out of the world when checking in on the International Space Station’s dehydrated food options. But when the information is expected at every moment, do we then need to sensationalize the mediocre? If there is no News, do the talking heads broadcast silence? Or are we forcing ourselves into oversaturation of nonsensical hyperbole? Stay tuned for Breaking Coverage with Mat and Veronique as we spin the facts into a steaming, heaping pile of cyclical rhetoric that we’re spewing out as The News!

Water is the element of Life. The origins of life on earth may be enshrouded in mystery, but that it began in water is unquestionable. While humankind does not live in water, a cursory glance at a map reveals that civilization develops near water. We must always have access to water to survive. But in the modern era, we can rely on the everpresent ether of the Poland Spring to quench us as far as the asphalt takes us. Coke machines and Convenience Marts litter the land from the summits of Aspen to the marshes of Kissimmee. So sated is the populous that we needn’t finish the last Fanta before we’re handed a fresh Yoo-Hoo. But with all of our liquids trapped in bottles, is the Earth getting thirsty? Crack a cold one with Mat and Veronique as we discard the unfinished, old one into the growing mound of Half-Full Beverages!
