Outsiders

Lincoln and Elise discover the complexity of pool tiling and the origin of splinter-free toilet paper before asking “What repulses you in art?”

Never judge a man by the pentagram tattooed on his forehead. This week, we learn about the Dolphin Slice, foppish affectation, and why [redacted] is the best hang before our hosts get into the main topic of art in inspiration and inspiration in art.  

Lincoln and Elise ask the question, “Did you have any interesting thoughts today?” Lincoln thinks about the role of mortality in commitment, and Elise wonders who invented toilet paper. They play Lincoln’s new game show, “Dupe”, and when they finally get back on topic they discuss the role of the face in ballet and how it can “almost destroy the art completely.”

OUTSIDERS Interview: Keith Code 
Lincoln sits down with one of the world’s greatest teachers to talk about the art of teaching. It doesn't seem to matter much that Lincoln teaches ballet dancers, and Keith teaches motorcycle racers. 

Lincoln does the scariest thing he can think of, then shaves his head, dances in a fountain, and challenges Matthew McConaughey while Elise sells acorns door-to-door. Also: how to deal with a repetitive, crushing sense of failure. 

Lincoln gets personal, joins a cult, and never gets to the show's intended topic. Elise explores her fetish for getting old people to jump out of airplanes. Also: taking risks, listening to your inner voice, and Lincoln’s approach to asking out women he’s really afraid of. 

They still don’t finish question number 3. The definition of beauty, the artificial road to becoming natural, rookie mistakes when eating protein bars, and Elise embroiders your pants. 

Question number 3, Lincoln’s time working in a strip club, Elise dislikes likes, and the importance of hating art. Also, they don’t finish Question Number 3.

Lincoln and Elise attempt to finish question number… 2? Who can tell anymore? Lincoln elevates tangents to an annoying art form. Also, Elise’s boyfriend’s folk-dancing man-crush, making art your best friend, and one of our hosts can’t tell time, so this episode is short.

ACB dancer Michelle DeAngelis' attempt to get her ex-boyfriend’s mother arrested and the recipe for Blueberry Toast. Lincoln and Elise attempt to answer ten fundamental questions about ballet and barely make it past the first one, or two... it’s hard to say exactly because Lincoln keeps referring to everything as question number two. Subjects covered include: What is ballet? Why do people still do it? And what makes a work of art ‘classical’? Please pay no attention to the syntax, ladies and gentlemen.
