When 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.
All of this and much more on this episode of LIP! Keep postulating, listeners!

This 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)!

LIP'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?

We 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. How long was that opening ceremony and what niche sports are the guys enjoying most? Then we roll up our sleeves to once-and-for-all finalise a long-running LIP idea: the Average Joe Olympics.

This episode has a French flavor as we turn our festival series to the Olympic games (1:43). Are we Olympic romantics or skeptics? Why do people keep watching them regardless of all the taint around them? And what is the actual product? Then Neil reveals a hidden talent in a very specific Olympic discipline before dropping a bombshell about a showing in front of 50,000 spectators!

After 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?

Like Heinz and their delicious ketchup with their 57 varieties, LIP now has 57 episodes to choose from! The question everyone is asking though; are there are any drops left in the postulation bottle? And, speaking of bottles, how difficult is it to drink from the newly EU regulated bottle caps without succumbing to injury (3:35)? A special guest from Westminster pays Nicola and Neil a visit with his BREXIT-inspired postulation.
Then, pack your bags and renew your passports as Neil introduces the world to a new concept called 'Lost In Perambulation' (11:35). Nicola's first task is to advise Neil on his summer travel plans (or lack thereof). Where can a procrastinator who does not like the heat go? Then, they round things off by discussing this years hottest travel trends, postulating about their significance and the future of holidaying (28:50).

Neil and Nicola are back, and they're somehow even more postulatory than ever before!
After a quick recap on the various sources of brain-rot you can consume the podcast through, we jump into a voice-note postulation Nicola captured live in the field on a recent flight (06:22). Is Main-Character Syndrome alive and well in the skies above Scandinavia, or is there No Real Person Involved?
From there it's a another tentative dip into the murky paddling-pool of celebrity culture, where the guys discuss exactly what the price of fame truly is (20:41). Is fame a blessing or a curse in 2024, and is anonymous success the smarter play?
Finally we wrap things up with a check-in on our latest musical exploits (34:38). Nicola reveals his Youtube Rabbithole discovery of the month, and Neil discusses the stark contrast he experienced seeing rock/metal stalwarts Tool and Metallica live in quick succession.

Neil and Nicola are back to postulate on the state of mundanity and pop culture! On this episode they get techie in the beginning as they ruminate on the practical usefulness and accuracy of Chat GPT (2:23). Plus will Scarlett defeat Altman (and is talk of Zuck with a beard real)? Then, they discuss the recent fallout surrounding the Dublin-NYC interactive video portal (9:00). What does it say about us as humans? Were there more Irish mooners than Americans? And what other cities could adopt the same concept?
Then, it's on to what is becoming a recurring segment: Neil Hearts Belgium (19:55). Nicola takes Neil through a postulation gauntlet of Belgian records (19:55), which one should they be remembered for? The longest ever plank? A bankrupt airline? A waste of good chocolate? How about the longest period without a sitting government?

This episode is jam-packed with all the postulatory loose ends you did not think needed tying. Nicola and Neil power their way through a personalized celebrity cover, the importance (or lack thereof) of the Eurovision project (3:30) and whether or not we need an Average Joe Olympic Games.
Neil provides an update on his recent bed buying experience including a postulation on paying someone to move your old bed for you (13:30). Then, it's apology time as the guys apologize to Germans (and their cuisine) (29:10) and Dutch sick bag collectors the world over (33:00). Nicola rounds things off by taking Neil back to the mundane streak gauntlet; will chicken nuggets or map drawing dethrone the Big Mac (34:40)?

After an atrocious attempt at an introduction in Irish, Nicola runs Neil through a gauntlet of mundane streaks, challenging him to pick one to stick to (4:35). Will he choose Will Shortz's streak of playing table tennis everyday for 10 years? Or will he eat at least one Big Mac everyday for the rest of his life? What about collecting as many sick bags as possible? The postulations are endless and quite weird!
Then, listeners, press start as Neil postulates on the future of video game adaptations (32:00). Are we living in the renaissance age of video games made into movies and TV series? What is driving it and what can we expect to see next?

Postulators, assemble! On this edition we postulate on the addictiveness of online games. Where are we after the thousandth Wordle? How many immaculate grids can there possibly be? And who is more likely to crack on their streaks, Neil or Nicola?
Then, since nothing gets our hosts more excited than staring at a nice map and eating a lovely meal, we decided to combine the two (7:15). Nicola presents his theory of an Eat To Live/Live To Eat meridian that splits Europe equally and they go about testing the hypothesis live on the podcast. Where will your favorite country land? Why does Germany get its own category? Do we underestimate the Balkans? And could the Baltic block pull off a historic upset?

After extensive celebrations following the release of LIP L, Neil and Nicola are back with some tremendously mundane postulations!
First, Neil wants hilly running races to get the recognition they deserve from the various obscure organization committees (as well as to have you follow him on Strava) (1:47). Then, is skiing the most arrogant assertion of mankind's dominance over nature (9:50)?
Afterwards, it's good night listeners, as the guys postulate on strategies for bed buying, which turns out to be a much more complicated process than one might expect (20:20). Is the bed salesperson a step above or below the used car salesman? And are VTPs unfairly discriminated against when it comes to bed building?
They round things off by taking you behind the curtain of 'Parent Corner' and ruminating on whether the type of music being played makes any difference at all for the six month old listening to it (37:48).

Nobody believed in them when they embarked on this crazy journey a little over a year ago, but somehow Neil and Nicola have defied the odds to make it to their 50th episode!
After a classic mundane opener about food, restaurants and the arbitrary correlations between price and quality (5:10), it's on to the mailbag (16:50).
An old unnamed friend writes in critiquing Neil's recent performance on Google reviews. Then after a brief Scientology sidebar, The Grey Ham sends in a voice note about bread and sausages. Why is it so difficult to find the right amount of hot dogs for buns in supermarkets nowadays?
As a final treat, the guys are asked to create a Mount Rushmore from the first 50 episodes of LIP (35:00)!

In this bonus release from our archive we travel back in time to understand how the Oscars became the campaigning and business-oriented event they are today (1:35). This leads us on a journey to the following enticing postulations: how often does the Academy actually get the winner for Best Picture right? and what would change if we were to award the Oscars with a ten year delay?
We end with our first ever head-to-head quiz showdown where we encourage all listeners to play along. Who will go down as the LIP Oscars Trivia World Champion (32:0)?
As ever, you can connect with us through our instagram account @lostinpostulation and via email [email protected]. Feedback, questions and postulations all very welcome!
Corrections & Amendments: Kathryn Bigelow did, in fact, win Best Director for The Hurt Locker in 2009. Joe Pesci won Best Supporting Actor for Goodfellas in 1991. Daniel Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor for Judas and the Black Messiah in 2021 and not for Best Actor, as mentioned.

Following much uproar from postulators worldwide and an extended delay, One Star Google Reviews are back with a vengeance! First though, Neil and Nicola make a concerted efforts to listeners in Quebec before postulating about the philosophies surrounding brunch (5:25). Do we all love our eggs-bennies enough to wait in line for hours every Sunday? And is the concept of brunch a function of the time of day or the type of food?
The core segment sees the return of the Google Review Adjudication Panel (16:20). On this edition, the guys try to get to the bottom of why universally adored places are receiving low ratings. Are people being unfair to the Grand Canyon (18:10)? And who is the pants thief lurking around the premises? Then, is the Statue of Liberty a tourist hoax as many are making it out to be or are they mistakenly taking out their government frustration on Lady Liberty (33:28)?

On this special episode of LIP, Nicola interviews Twin Cities-based rapper DH Porter.
First though, the guys are back in the studio for some live postulations and an update on the polarizing Mount Chucksmore election (5:10). Who are the four comic actors turned dramatic that will be put up on that wall in Edinburgh? Will Jim Carrey fans get what they came for? Or will Aubrey Plaza and Adam Sandler put on a Ralph Nader-esque performance?
Then, DH Porter (@dh.porter) joins us to discuss what it feels like to be a long-suffering Minnesota sports fan (11:10), his music creation process (28:45) & mental health (42:25). Finally, he tests himself through a postulation gauntlet (48:30) for the ages!
The music sampled throughout the episode is from DH Porter. DH already has 2 albums out in 2024, hbd and Bounces. If you enjoyed the episode, you can find his music anywhere you get your tunes, including Bandcamp and Spotify. For more news on his upcoming releases follow him on Instagram (@dh.porter).

After their trip to South Dakota, Neil and Nicola are back with more postulations! In a rare instance of vulnerability, Neil opens up to the audience about a traumatic experience from a board game night (1:05). Then, after a brief aside on the enduring accuracy of Wikipedia (7:30), they reveal their sympathies for a certain side in the Duvet Wars (10:00). Are separate duvets always better? And what should you do when you are staying in a hotel?
The main postulatory segment sees the return of the many Mount Rushmores. First, perplexing poll results are revealed from last week that reveal a surprising (and, perhaps, dissapointing) level of conventionality and conformity from the LIP community (17:12). Then it is on to Mount Chucksmore, where Neil and Nicola attempt to reach a consensus to determine the four greatest comedians that have succesfully transitioned to serious dramatic roles (25:30). Spoiler: they fail and will need your help in another run-off vote!

Neil and Nicola come to you from the Black Hills of South Dakota for a round of momentous postulations!
After some puzzling talk about generational divides, Neil evaluates David Sedaris' posutlation abiltiies (9:30). How should you go about eating a car tire? And is consuming a door still a preferable (and marginally healthier) endeavor?
Then, they introduce a new postulatory device: The Mundane Mount Rushmore (17:00). What are the four greatest sauces of all-time (19:25)? Is ketchup the George Washington? Do dips count as sauces? And where will this great monument be located?
Then, they dip into the pop culture realm as Mount Board Game also needs to be adjudicated (38:10). Nicola rolls the dice in search of a unified theory and Neil chimes in with his expert knowledge. Will there be space for a Chinese classic? And who will be crowned the Teddy Roosevelt of board games?
Finally, there is space for Movie Corner (57:25), where Nicola seems to have missed something from Barbie and Philip Seymour Hoffman is honored.
