35. The Soup Can Olympics

On this episode of LIP, the guys start off with a mundane postulation around contemporary art forms (3:00). Can anybody truly be made to feel something by staring at a blank canvas with a black line drawn down the middle? Where do we rate Nicola's promising painting career? And what does Neil think about weird things coming out of soup cans?Then, it's back to discussing friend (or foe) of the podcast, Jimmy Fallon (13:24). Do the latest allegations from Rolling Stone vindicate Neil's stance on Jimmy? And, perhaps most importantly, what does the whole thing say about the state of journalism in 2023?Our core postulation comes with a French flavor as we turn our festival series to the Olympic games (30:20). 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!Don't forget that you can watch video clips of our episodes on our Youtube channel!Send in your own postulations to our X account @InPostulation, Instagram @lostinpostulation and via email [email protected]!
