38. Is A Hot Dog A Sandwich?

Listeners, this week is all about you! The vibes are as mundane as they will probably ever get as Neil and Nicola dive deep into our mailbag for listener inspired postulations and do their best to resolve some ageless debates.First, an old loyal listener of the podcast comes with some pungent feedback and allegations geared towards Neil's recent performances on the podcast (4:40). Will this motivational Sir Alex-like figure ever reveal himself? Or will their anonymity live to see another day?Then, they tackle a postulation which is very much the bread-and-sausage of LIP: Is a hotdog a sandwich (8:50)? Nobody holds back as official definitions are dissected, historical context is ruminated on and, ultimately, a unified theory is somehow reached. How does a hamburger fit in? And what about this weird, and somewhat vulgar, French-Danish innovation for holding the hot dog?In another critical postulatory segment, they are asked which way they hang the toilet roll (27:00)? Neil reveals what a stickler he is for bathroom rules and Nicola provides a definitive answer based on a a patent from 1891.Finally, a chaos agent cracker-maker provokes a postulation on the trials and tribulations of buying clothes for men (37:45). Can Neil fit into any t-shirts well? And what is Nicola's tactic for buying clothes for his wife without her having to return them?Thanks to everyone that submitted something to the mailbag, we'll get around to more as we approach the 1 year anniversary of LIP!Don't forget that you can watch video clips of our episodes on our Youtube channel, including the opening segment of this very episode.Send in your own postulations to our X account @InPostulation, Instagram @lostinpostulation and via email [email protected]!
