Topicopedia

https://linktr.ee/topicopedia Topicopedia is the podcast where current affairs meet complete nonsense. Every week, Ste & Nicole dive into the biggest stories from Topical Media, read your messages, opinions and questionable life choices, then inevitably get distracted by something completely unrelated. Expect our Off-topic Topic, Judge Jerry (where Uncle Jerry solves modern problems with even more modern solutions), Follow Fast or Scroll Past, Meme of the Week, Jokes of the Week, and whatever random tangents we end up on in between. It’s packed with sarcastic humour, ridiculous conversations, awful puns, plenty of innuendo, and the kind of banter you’d expect from two mates who probably should’ve stayed off the internet. If you like your podcasts funny, a little bit chaotic, and only loosely held together by a running order… welcome to Topicopedia.

    EP220 | SEX ROBOT TEACHERS & NAKED STONEHENGE

    Description: Nicole’s back has finally packed up, Ste has returned from his birthday trip to London considerably poorer, and a disappointing Gordon Ramsay burger has left him questioning everything. In Episode 220 of Topicopedia, we hear about Nicole’s terrifying night home alone, debate whether Britain should ever reconsider the death penalty, and meet the electric Jaguar driver whose own car grassed him up to the police. There’s also an AI school robot linked to a company making sex bots, surfing dogs, a £28,000 overdue library book, a floor covered in enough peanut butter to make 15,000 sandwiches, and the chance to dance naked inside Stonehenge. Our Off Topic discussion asks why stolen chips, cinema popcorn and food made by somebody else always taste better. Then Judge Jerry delivers his verdict on a boyfriend who practically lives at his girlfriend’s house, eats her food, uses her electricity, contributes absolutely nothing and considers McDonald’s an acceptable birthday celebration. We also tackle the biggest restaurant debates, including QR code menus, automatic service charges, splitting the bill, children in fine-dining restaurants, bottomless brunches and tipping in the UK. Plus Meme of the Week and a collection of jokes that become progressively less suitable for polite company.

    EP219 | THE CHEESECAKE WAS FOREPLAY…

    In Episode 219, Ste and Nicole accidentally spend far too long investigating Ben & Jerry’s flavours before eventually remembering they have an actual podcast to record. There’s listener feedback, Andy Burnham and Number 10 North, hosepipe snitches, people parachuting from towers, a real-life Spider-Man, rogue AI, Sam Smith’s hazel-eye confusion and plenty more from the week’s headlines. Nicole then challenges Ste to identify everyday products using nothing but furious one-star reviews, before Uncle Jerry tackles a family crisis involving missing food, a hidden kitchen camera, a stolen cheesecake and a mum secretly using her son’s house as a waiting room for an affair with the 82-year-old neighbour. Finally, meal kits, Amazon Prime, app payments, advert-free streaming, creator memberships and car subscriptions face Follow Fast or Scroll Past, followed by Meme of the Week and another collection of deeply questionable jokes.

    EP218 | HUMAN DOGS, £12.50 TEA & AIRPORT ANIMALS

    Episode 218 gets expensive, awkward and worryingly canine. Nicole has bought a 3D printer and immediately discovered that the printer itself is only the beginning of the spending. We catch up with your feedback, discuss the week's headlines and make some political predictions that may age terribly. Then Ste plays The Price Is Wrong, attempting to guess the real cost of everything from a cup of tea at The Ritz to airport parking, theme-park churros and an alarmingly expensive Mr Whippy. Judge Jerry also returns to rule on a family birthday dilemma involving a friend's dog persona, a harness, a surprise game of fetch and a previous incident with hand-fed pork scratchings in Wetherspoons. Finally, we settle some airport-etiquette arguments, battle over Meme of the Week and finish with another collection of wonderfully questionable jokes. Listen, vote and send us your own stories at topicopedia.online. Short podcast-app description Nicole's new 3D-printing hobby gets expensive, Ste faces outrageous prices in The Price Is Wrong, and Judge Jerry rules on whether a human Alsatian should be allowed at a family birthday party.

    EP217 | STICKY BALLS, SWINGERS & THE BINDICATOR

    Autocorrect has learned one word from Ste’s phone and it absolutely refuses to let it go: THE BINDICATOR. This week, Nicole reveals the matching tattoos and launches a forensic investigation into the face of someone who laughed at them. Ste embraces sticky-ball season, Andy risks the friendship by attacking pistachios, and Topical Media returns with the biggest, weirdest and most ridiculous stories of the week. Then Autocorrect Roulette exposes far too much, including Nicole’s plan for old people and Ste’s suspiciously persistent home-automation dashboard. Judge Jerry also tackles a key-party disaster involving Mum’s Nissan Micra, a woman called Bev, discount body glitter and something now known as “the little red rocket”. Plus, we decide whether chips belong in a McFlurry, whether banana pizza should be prosecuted, crown the Meme of the Week and finish with jokes of varying legality and quality.

    EP216 | Camera Up My What?! Weddings, Water Taxis & The M&S Bag Scandal | Topicopedia EP216

    Ste and Nicole are back for episode 216 of Topicopedia, and this week starts exactly how any sensible podcast should: with colonoscopy chat, road surface analysis and a suspiciously deep dive into bus-route YouTube. There’s also a missing smash burger delivery, a cursed DHL coffee table saga, listener feedback about weather stations, Viagra in football, air con, political chaos and the sort of world record chat nobody asked for. In notable news, we get into England at the World Cup, the Sky/ITV streaming deal, Russia and Ukraine, viral Empire State Building edits, Joey Chestnut’s hot dog record, a Plymouth taxi that fancied being a boat, and the greatest headline ever written about an M&S bag. This week’s main game is Finish the Sentence, which somehow manages to cover ageing, weddings, lottery purchases, cats, aliens, supermarket tannoys and the banning of matcha. Exhibit A looks at the heartbreaking murder of Helen McCourt, a local case involving the former George and Dragon pub in Billinge, before the mood swerves violently back into chaos with Follow Fast or Scroll Past: outrageous wedding trends. Audio guest books, champagne towers, tattoo stations, live painters, midnight McDonald’s and outfit changes all get dragged through the Topicopedia filter. Plus: Meme of the Week, jokes of the week, Uncle Jerry lurking somewhere in the shadows, and the usual amount of cancellation-risk behaviour.

    EP215: Viral Spiders, Slushie Machines & The Murder Theory That Made No Sense

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole are surviving the heatwave, arguing about aircon, celebrating Spoodpimp going weirdly viral, and once again proving that Lidl’s middle aisle is basically financial Russian roulette. We also dive into listener feedback, weird eBay purchases, resin pumpkins, suspicious weather maps, missing giraffes, sewer explorers, raccoons with jars on their heads, and seagulls stealing terrible sausages. Then we look at some of the world’s weirdest Guinness World Records, including chopsticks in beards, washing machine throwing, rubber duck collections, extremely questionable fingernails and a skateboarding bulldog. In Exhibit A, we cover the tragic murder of Shani Warren, a case wrongly clouded for years by a bizarre suicide theory before DNA evidence finally helped bring justice 35 years later. Plus, Follow Fast or Scroll Past tackles Labubu figures, Jellycat plushies, Stanley tumblers, Ninja slushie machines, Squishmallows and other things people are suddenly obsessed with for reasons science may never explain.

    EP214: Starmer Quits 🍾 Haunted Ducks & The World’s Stupidest eBay Purchases

    This week on Topicopedia, we SOMEHOW go from politics to haunted bath toys, which feels about right. We talk Keir Starmer apparently throwing in the towel, Andy Burnham being lined up as the next big northern hope, social media bans, Clarkson, voting ages, and whether the government just wants everyone carrying digital ID. Then things get properly stupid as we dive into some of the most unhinged things ever sold on eBay, including William Shatner’s kidney stone, a haunted rubber duck, Elvis Presley’s alleged leftover water, and an invisible air guitar. We also cover the unsolved murder of Daniel Morgan, fakeaway recipes, meme of the week, feedback, jokes, and the usual amount of nonsense.

    Topicopedia EP213.mp3

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole accidentally wander through the Lidl middle aisle of chaos, discuss whether Ste has become worryingly healthy, and explain why slime with bits in it is an offence against humanity. We dig into listener feedback, RollerCoaster Tycoon nostalgia, Uncle Jerry’s growing presence in the comments section, and a Notable News round-up featuring Andy Burnham, Keir Starmer, social media curfews, the World Cup and Katie Price’s husband. Then it’s time for the big one: Elon Musk and the trillion-dollar question. Has Ste softened on Elon? Is a trillion dollars even real money? And does Hyperloop count as genius, madness, or just a very expensive tube? We also put history itself on trial with a round of “Am I The A******e?”, judging Henry VIII, the Titanic captain, Guy Fawkes, Napoleon, Christopher Columbus, Julius Caesar, Robert Falcon Scott, King John, the Wright Brothers and Oppenheimer. This week’s true crime case is the chilling White House Farm murders, one of Britain’s most debated criminal cases, before we lighten the mood with some of the most ridiculous viral gender reveal ideas ever imagined. Plus: Meme of the Week, rude jokes, Uncle Jerry being deeply unsupervised, and the kind of gender reveal idea that should absolutely never leave the group chat. Vote for Meme of the Week and send us your feedback at: Topicopedia.online Contains strong language, adult humour, dark jokes and true crime discussion. #Topicopedia #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #BritishPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #WhiteHouseFarm #JeremyBamber #ElonMusk #GenderReveal #MemeOfTheWeek #DarkHumour #FunnyPodcast #PodcastClips 00:00:00 Welcome to EP213 00:06:31 Uncle Jerry takes over social media 00:10:00 Listener feedback 00:14:23 Notable News 00:24:09 Elon Musk and the trillion-dollar question 00:34:04 Historical “Am I The A******e?” 00:52:59 The White House Farm murders 01:05:28 Gender reveals have gone too far 01:23:32 Meme of the Week 01:27:00 Rude jokes 01:30:01 Outro
