62. 62. Mailbag: Fries, Ties & Compromise
53:50||Ep. 62When we want the most thought-provoking, insightful and absurd postulations, all we have to do is tap into our bulging listener mailbag! This time around we heard about a sweet potato fry conspiracy (5:35) and the increasingly common habit of people sharing private conversations on public transport. Then, it being an election year and all, we decided to peek behind the curtain and provide the results of all our outstanding listener polls (27:35). Is a black tie dress code still acceptable at weddings in 2024? And who will run the Average Joe Olympics? These are the questions that truly matter this year. Your future is on the ballot, or something like that. Special guests included Werner Herzog, 3 different versions of POTUS and a few disgruntled listeners unwilling to accept the results of our elections.We rounded things off with our pop culture recommendations; some sensible others a bit more obscure but all worthy of a postulation.

61. 61. The Beachspiracy
49:29||Ep. 61This jam-packed episode of LIP starts off with a return appearance by Conspiracy Neil (5:00). In what will likely become a recurring segment, he makes his case for beaches being the worst scam known to man. Do people truly enjoy themselves on a beach or are they just there to signal something? What British lord started this scam in the first place? Is sand overrated? And are pools generally better?Then Nicola segways us into the wide world of geography (18:20), discussing theories on why it is so under-appreciated and under-taught in schools. Are we undergoing a geo-renaissance thanks to computer games and Tim Marshall? We ask ourselves what the biggest geographic misconceptions are (29:45), before rounding off with a contentious quiz (41:10)!All of this and much more on this episode of LIP!

52:48||Ep. 60LIP's diamond anniversary gets off to a bang with a postulation about Pringles (3:00)! Does the fact that the tube is too small to fit your hand actually aid the enjoyment? What other foods can this postulation be applied to? And have we been sleeping on the GOAT of potato chips?Then, our core postulatory segment sees us channel our inner Delilahs as we field questions from the (in)famous subreddit: Am I The Asshole (10:07)? What is the etiquette on bringing you partner along for a wedding weekend they were not invited to? Are parents allowed to skip toilet queues without asking politely? Are you naive for not getting travel insurance and then expecting reimbursement? And are you entitled to complaining about a raise?All of this and much more on this episode of LIP!

01:09:49||Ep. 59We kick off this week's episode with a reflection on "black tie" dress codes - are they outdated, and is a black tie wedding too big an ask?From there it's onto our initial reactions to the Paris 2024 Olympics.

29:07|This episode has a French flavor as we turn our festival series to the Olympic games (1:43). Are we Olympic romantics or skeptics?

48:05||Ep. 58After over-postulating on the 3 minute Gladiator 2 trailer, Neil and Nicola dive back into One Star Google Reviews (10:50)! Is a for-profit driving school in Salt Lake City that is running a scam on test takers? What exactly is their endgame? And why do they seem to discriminate extra against VTPs (Very Tall People)?That leads the guys to the next logical postulation: can we even trust good Google reviews anymore or is a 3.8 star rating paradoxically better than a 4.8 now (26:00)? Then in honor of the summer, they review what seems to be a nightmare holiday destination in Mallorca (29:30)? Will a call to the establishment itself change their minds?All of this and much more on this episode of LIP!

And, speaking of bottles, how difficult is it to drink from the newly EU regulated bottle caps without succumbing to injury (3:35)?
